The mother of a Finglas woman who was fatally injured in a shooting incident in her home in Dublin earlier this year broke down at an inquest while giving evidence about formally identifying her daughter’s body.

Teresa Boyd burst into tears as her witness statement about seeing the body of her daughter, Sandra, was read out at a sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court.
