Woman also sentenced for attempted murder of her other child
A former nurse who murdered one son and tried to kill another was today told she will spend the next 20 years of her life in jail before being considered for release.
As she imposed the sentence, Judge Patricia Smyth branded what happened on the morning of March 2, 2020 as a “savage attack with a knife” which would have caused both children “severe pain and distress”. The double stabbing occurred at the family home on the outskirts of Larne and claimed the life of the defendant’s young son who was aged two years and eight months and who was stabbed in the neck and chest.
