A woman has pleaded guilty to the murder of John Forrester whose body was found in the River Bandon two years ago.

She’s admitted killing John Forrester at Bridge House in Bandon, Co Cork on November 12 2011. Forrester, a 42 year old father of four, was from Blackpool in England but had been living in Bandon for a number of years. His body was found in the river.
