State of mind of woman who cut another woman's face in random attack to play central part in trial, court hears

The state of mind of a knife-wielding woman who "severely cut" a woman's neck and face in an "out of the blue" attack will be a central issue in the case, a jury has heard.

Laura Kenna, 37, of no fixed address, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the charge of attempted murder of Fionnuala Burke on Lower Drumcondra Road in Dublin on January 3, 2017.
