A Central Criminal Court jury has found a 47-year-old woman guilty of murdering her partner after she stabbed him to death during a drunken row - the second time she has been convicted of this offence.

The panel of seven men and four women rejected Paula Farrell's defence that she was provoked after she claimed her boyfriend Wayne 'Quilly' McQuillan sexually assaulted and began to strangle her with his hands when she refused to have sex with him.
