A Ukrainian refugee in Cork accused of dangerous driving causing the death of a fellow Ukrainian man with whom she had been socialising in the city pleaded guilty on Friday to a charge of careless driving causing his death.

Prosecution barrister Donal O’Sullivan said this guilty plea by Kseniia Vasylenko was acceptable to the State. The accused woman was then remanded in custody by Judge Helen Boyle for sentencing in a fortnight on April 26.
