Sense of entitlement, not delusional impulses, prompted knife attack on woman, court told

A woman did not carry out a severe knife attack on another woman because of “delusional” impulses but rather because of “anger” and “a sense of entitlement”, a consultant psychiatrist has told the Central Criminal Court.

Laura Kenna (37), of no fixed abode, is charged with attempting to murder Fionnuala Burke on Lower Drumcondra Road, in Dublin, on January 3, 2017 and assault causing serious harm on the same occasion.
