Jozef Puska's partner's life imploded when 'loving' and 'devoted father' revealed as murderer, court told
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: While she accepts that she has committed an offence and that her actions were wrong, Mr FitzGerald asked Ms Justice Caroline Biggs to consider a fully suspended sentence. Ms Justice Biggs asked Mr FitzGerald to explain why a probation report for Istokova states that in her first appointment she denied any wrongdoing and said she only pleaded guilty to minimise the likelihood of a prison sentence.; Ms Justice Biggs adjourned the matter to October 22 and warned the families to get their affairs in order ahead of that date due to the real risk that they will be sent to prison.
