A former nurse who murdered one son and tried to kill another was today (Tuesday) told she will spend the next 20 years of her life in jail before being considered for release.
The 42-year old Co Antrim woman, who can’t be named due to a reporting restriction, displayed no emotion as the tariff was set at Belfast Crown Court.
As she imposed the sentence, Judge Patricia Smyth branded what happened on the morning of March 2, 2020 as a “savage attack with a knife” which would have caused both children “severe pain and distress”.
