Sandra Sandaraite pleaded guilty at the Central Criminal Court
A Lithuanian woman who was charged with the murder of a 47-year-old Polish man in Co. Meath two years ago has had a plea of guilty to manslaughter accepted by the State.
Sandra Sandaraite, aged 38, with an address at Academy Street, Navan, Co. Meath, had been charged with the murder of Zbigniew Czech at the same address on December 10, 2022.
At the Central Criminal Court this Monday, Ms Sandaraite pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter, which Bernard Condon SC said was acceptable to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The defendant only spoke in court to say “not guilty to murder, guilty to manslaughter” when the charge was read to her by the registrar.
Michael Bowman SC, for Ms Sandaraite, said the charge arose in the context of a “domestic dispute”.
Mr Justice Paul McDermott adjourned the matter for sentencing on May 16, to allow for the preparation of urinalysis and probation reports.
