42-yr-old Christina Anderson who stabbed a father-of-four to death after he parked opposite her house, has been jailed for eight years.
Ms Justice Karen O’Connor said it was a “fatal and ferocious” attack on a defenceless man, reports RTE.
According to the national broadcaster, the judge said that the sentence would have been at the top end of manslaughter cases, and could have attracted a life sentence were it not for Anderson’s mental disorder.
She gave Anderson an 11 year sentence and suspended the final three years for a period of four years with a number of conditions attached.
Anderson stabbed innocent father-of-four 38-yr-old Gareth Kelly five times as he tried to start his car in a parking space opposite her home at Brownsbarn Wood, Kingswood in Dublin, at 7am on February 25th 2020.
They did not know of each other before the evil act took place.
