One of the most wicked, henious crimes I’ve ever heard about.
If you told that man, that, when he went down to his car ( in a private estate in south Dublin) that he’d be brutally stabbed to death by a housewife with two children looking out the window, he’d probably said you’re mad.
Appreciate and live your best life. You never know whats around the corner.
> Professor Kennedy, the court heard during cross examination of Dr Wright, had written a report in which he said that Anderson’s behaviour was better explained by cannabis intoxication
How is this even an argument in this day and age? Are doctors still living in the 50s or something?
It just shows we don’t know what dangerous people are in our surrounds
I’m surprised this story hasn’t got that much attention.
“Mary Mercer hoping to bring her in that day but they said they did not have psychiatric services on a Monday. They agreed to bring her scheduled appointment for the following afternoon forward to 9am.”
The state of healthcare in Ireland. And you wouldn’t think of taking her to A&E because she’d sit for 10 hours. Awful shame, someone had to die because someone else clearly needed crisis intervention and didn’t get it.
Should be locked up for life
I hope she can get the help that she needs, but this person should never be allowed to interact with society again.
Shocking sad story.
Equality before the law my arse.
“Her lawyers called Dr Wright, who said that Anderson has a diagnosis of bipolar affective disorder and as a result she falsely believed that Mr Kelly was a threat to her and her family and that she was morally justified in killing him to protect her family.
She said Anderson was also unable to refrain from acting as she did against what she believed was an “immediate danger”.”
How can these people live with themselves
If this was a man who did the stabbing and rhe victim was female, we would be neck deep in vigils. Male victim no gives a shite. Its pathetic.
The anti-cannabis warriors will have a field day with this shit.
Parking space war, very sad
Anyone who has seen someone going through a severe manic episode can understand that this woman needed help and was failed by the health service. It is insanely difficult to get proper treatment for bipolar mania.
The wording of female crime stories are so strange, woman pleads guilty, not a murderer.
It’s weird that they talk about her “alter ego” Nicky as if it was a delusion.
I knew her as Nicky. She had hundreds of videos online as Nicky. She had a website as Nicky. Some of her friends knew her as Nicky. Her partner might have even given her the name Nicky.
I still have DMs from Nicky. The profile is gone but the username and profile pic still shows up
From the outside you would think she is coming up with an insanity plea to try get out of it, but with her history and the escalations leading up to the stabbing the poor woman was clearly out of her mind. I couldn’t believe that she was married, what was the husband at, like if my wife starts sleeping with a KNIFE UNDER HER PILLOW, best believe me and the kids are getting out of there
Stop violence against men
Jaysus… All the ‘if it was a man comments’ can get in the bin. Grow up lads. Men are not being persecuted. We commit the vast majority of murders. It’s quite rare for woman to commit murder and most are convicted. This woman was having a psychotic episode. If a man killed someone while having a similar psychotic episode the outcome would be exactly the same.
