A 34-year-old man accused of the murder of his mother-in-law told gardaí she tried to kill her husband and wanted all the family dead, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
Mr Greene was arrested on 13 June 2017, after bringing gardaí to the scene of a shallow grave in Co Wexford, where he said he had buried Mrs O'Connor before returning some days later and cutting up her body. Mr Greene said Mrs O'Connor used to throw the kids' Christmas toys out and spent all the money her husband had saved.
Louise had been diagnosed with a condition called Graves' disease and her mother said there was a symptom called "Graves' rage" which would allow her to kill anyone and get away with murder. He explained he felt free after throwing her body parts around the Wicklow mountains because he felt his kids would be safe, and they would not have to fear her any more. He said doctors, social workers and the head of housing for the council, had all come to the house.
He told gardaí it was not planned, it was not intentional, he was defending himself he said. "If I wanted to kill her, why would I wait ten years?" he asked.
