Nicola ‘won’t get her happy ever after’

Ms Collins was murdered in a flat on Popham's Road in Farranree in the early hours on Monday morning.

Everyone deserves a happy ever after but Nicola Collins never got hers, writes Ann Murphy.

These are the words of the murder victim’s friend, Catherine Coffey O’Brien, who had been friends with the 38-year-old woman since they were in Nazareth House institution in Tralee as children.
