A Dublin man solicited another man to murder a woman and her partner because he felt "betrayed" after discovering intimate online messages between the Canadian couple and his wife, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
The court heard that the defendant Bryan Kennedy (35), who is awaiting sentencing in the District Court for the possession of child abuse material, is the sole carer for his children and that his wife is wheelchair-bound.
Kennedy, with an address at Mount Tallant Avenue, Harold's Cross, Dublin 6W, pleaded guilty to soliciting a man, who can only be referred to as 'AL' by court order, to murder Stephanie Poirier on a date unknown between October 1, 2019, and January 11, 2020, both dates inclusive, within the State.
