Murdered woman’s husband blocked from selling home

THE mother and daughter of a woman murdered in her home last week were granted an injunction by the High Court yesterday preventing the husband of the deceased selling the family home worth nearly €1 million.

Alan White, whose 43-year-old wife, Irene, was stabbed to death as she washed the dishes in the family home, is also restrained from interfering in any way with the assets forming part of the estate of his late wife. The couple were married in June 1998.

President of the High Court Mr Justice Joseph Finnegan was told Irene White was murdered in the family home at Ice House, Demense Road, Dundalk, Co Louth, on April 6 last. The inquiry is ongoing.
