Galway: Expectant mother jailed for nine years

An eight month pregnant Galway woman who stabbed her neighbour to death in a row over a puppy has been jailed for nine years at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr Justice Paul Carney said that he had to have regard for the “senseless reason” John Malone’s life had been taken from him by Una Black in December 2006 and that the offence was “at the top end of the scale of gravity”.
