Murder accused 'waited in the long grass' before slitting wife's throat

The trial continues in front of Mr Justice Paul McDermott and a jury of seven women and five men.

A murder accused husband described to gardaí how he "waited in the long grass" for his wife before slitting her throat and choking her with his "bare hands", a Central Criminal Court jury has heard.

"I didn't stop, there was nothing to stop. It was black and nasty," James Kilroy told gardaí in interview.
