Paediatric nurse Deirdre Morley, who smothered her three young children at their family home, has been found not guilty of their murders by reason of insanity.
The 12 jurors accepted the evidence given by two psychiatrists that the accused, who specialised in renal care at Our Lady s Hospital in Crumlin, was suffering from a mental disorder at the time of the three killings and fulfilled the criteria for the special verdict.
The case, Ms Morley s defence counsel had told the jury, was a tragedy of enormous proportions , with the tragic irony of the accused being someone who had committed her entire professional life to the care of children as a paediatric nurse.
