A mother of three who stabbed a man to death outside her home during a psychotic episode has lost an appeal against the severity of her eight-year prison sentence.

Christina Anderson, 41, of Brownsbarn Wood, Kingswood, Dublin 22, had never met father of seven Gareth Kelly, 38, when she twice attacked him, stabbing him five times in total, while he tried to start his car outside her home in the early morning of February 25, 2020.
