Woman to stand trial accused of murdering two-year-old
Summary
In September, a woman, whose name is withheld for legal reasons, will stand trial at the Central Criminal Court in Waterford for the murder of a two‑year‑old child on 5 July 2019. The case, originally scheduled for February, was postponed due to Covid‑19 restrictions that halted jury swearing‑in. The court has indicated the trial could last up to four weeks. At the February hearing, an order was imposed to anonymise the accused following a defence application.
