Jury must acquit woman if boyfriend died after ‘coming towards’ knife in her hand, defence team claims

The barrister for a woman charged with murdering her boyfriend says the jury must acquit her if it’s reasonably possible that ‘him coming towards the knife’ had caused the fatal wound.

Caroline Biggs SC also asked the jury to consider self-defence during her closing speech today in the trial of the mother of two, who is accused of murdering the man in their Tipperary home.
