'I just want them back' - Court hears how Deirdre Morley killed her three children

The prosecution said the murder trial is all about intent and whether Ms Morley had the mental capacity to know what she was doing at the time

Deirdre Morley (pictured) has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the murders of Conor, Darragh and Carla McGinley.

“I just want them back,” is what a woman accused of murdering her three young children said in her first Garda interview following the killings.

Deirdre Morley, 44, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to the murders of Conor McGinley, 9, and Darragh McGinley, 7, and Carla McGinley, 3, at their home in Parson’s Court, Newcastle, Co. Dublin, on January 24, 2020.
