A 25-year-old Welsh woman accused of stabbing a Leitrim man thirteen times with three knives and then pouring boiling water over him has pleaded not guilty to his murder at the Central Criminal Court.
Ms Williams, originally from Holywell, in Flintshire denies murdering Mr Andrew Foley (54) at his basement flat in Nelson St, Dublin 7 on May 7th, 2002.
Opening the case for the State, Mr Alex Owens SC described how Mr Foley had only met Ms Williams in a pub on Dorset St in Dublin on the day of his death. She allegedly killed him after going back to his flat after leaving the pub.
Originally from Dromahair, Co Leitrim, Mr Foley had been living and working as a carpenter in Dublin for several years.
Ms Williams had only arrived in Ireland from North Wales a few weeks before the incident.
Ms Williams was remanded in custody. The trial continues before Mr Justice Kevin O'Higgins and a jury of seven women and five men at the Central Criminal Court tomorrow.
