The trial of a woman charged with murdering her husband has been told that the accused was heard shouting"it was self-defence, it was self-defence" after the man was fatally injured.
The prosecution alleges that Sarah Doyle"produced a knife and was responsible for inflicting two stab wounds" on her husband during a disagreement. A neighbour helped her while she administered CPR and they continued until gardaí arrived at the scene. Mr Doyle's parents, David and Jacqueline, were present and"very distressed".
Asked by the prosecution if she ever saw any"physical acts of violence" between the couple, the witness said"no". Another neighbour, Christopher Hilliard, said he saw Philip lying on the ground and tried to move him, but then his hands were covered with blood from Philip, who seemed to have two cuts. He agreed with Paul Green SC, prosecuting, that Philip was"drifting in and out of consciousness".
Brian Leonard told the trial that he was also woken by the noise outside on the morning of 26 January and could see Philip Doyle lying on the grass. He went out and the people nearby were"crying for help".
