Killer 'so calm' after he stabbed shop worker Mairead Moran, inquest hears

A man who fatally stabbed a 26-year-old woman while she worked at a health food shop was “so calm” and showed no emotion after he committed the atrocity, an inquest has heard, writes Conor Kane.

Mairead Moran died as a result of a stab wound to the trunk which caused injuries to her heart, lung, kidney and liver when she was attacked by Shane Smyth at the Holland & Barrett shop in Market Cross Shopping Centre, Kilkenny, in May of 2014.
