Mother cleared of daughter's murder sent to Central Mental Hospital

A psychiatrist who drowned her teenage daughter in the bath to save her from a hopeless life of anorexia has been found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity.

Lynn Gibbs, 47, who killed her daughter Ciara, 16, at their home in Killure, Gowran in Co Killkenny between November 25 and 26, 2006, will remain in treatment at the Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum until an order is made by the state for her release.
