Guinness PubFinder Ad

When Mr Bernard Condon SC prosecuting cross-examined Lordan, the superintendent confirmed that Ms Doyle rang a friend in Belfast the day of the stabbing, saying "I have to get out of here, I have to get out of here."

Ms Doyle told her friend that her husband was driving her up the wall but she did not specifically ask her friend for help.

Supt Lordan said he did not have any concerns over her mental health state when she was being questioned over the stabbing and that if he had he would have dealt with it under the Mental Health Act of 2001.
