Intoxication was 'overriding factor' when accused allegedly killed her partner, says psychiatrist

A consultant forensic psychiatrist has told the jury in the trial of a 42-year-old Louth woman charged with murdering her partner last year that the accused had the capacity to form intent and was not impaired by her mental disorder on the night of the offence.

Paula Farrell with an address at Rathmullen Park, Drogheda, Co Louth is charged with murdering Wayne McQuillan (30) at her home on January 1, 2014.
