Lisa Lee was sent back to prison by the Central Criminal Court after refusing a detox programme, at a hearing reported on 9 April 2024.

Lee had been convicted of discarding a knife used in the fatal stabbing of Isaac Horgan, and received a four-year sentence with the final two years suspended.

After her release in December 2023, she faced Public Order Act and Misuse of Drugs Act charges; the judge remanded her in custody while considering how much of the suspended term to reactivate.

Her barrister said residential care filled her with panic, and Lee chose prison rather than enter the treatment programme.
