Murder accused had no motive, claims witness
A close friend of a woman on trial for murdering a 66-year-old man has told the Central Criminal Court that the accused had “no motive” and “wouldn't have done it on purpose”.
Giving evidence via video-link from Australia, Maria Cunningham-Dutton said that the accused, Claire Nolan, was “off her head on cocaine” at the time of the incident, in which Michael Duffy died.
