Two accused of conspiracy to murder

The jury in the trial of a Clare woman and a former Las Vegas poker dealer accused of conspiring to kill the woman’s partner and his two sons have heard that the prosecution believe they have an “overwhelming” case against the two accused.

Sharon Collins (aged 45), of Ballybeg House, Kildysart Road, Ennis and Essam Eid (aged 53), an Egyptian man with a Nevada address have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to kill P.J., Robert and Niall Howard between August 1, 2006 and September 26, 2006. Ms Collins also denied hiring Mr Eid to shoot the three men.
