Jury returns verdict of manslaughter in Dunmanway trial

A jury returned a 10-2 majority verdict today against a middle-aged Fermoy woman of not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter in the case where the victim was found weeks later submerged in a slurry pit.

Una Geaney, aged 45, of Mullinagleamig, Dingle, County Kerry, and originally from Fermoy, County Cork, had denied murdering Gary Bull, aged 37, at Shanlaragh, Dunmanway, Co Cork, on September 23 2007.
