A 34-year-old Dublin man has been handed a life sentence for murdering his ex-girlfriend in her home in Arklow, Co Wicklow just before Christmas 2019.

Nadine Lott died in hospital three days after Daniel Murtagh, of Melrose Grove, Bawnogue, Clondalkin, attacked her after she came home from a family night out.

He claimed he didn’t mean to kill her and blamed the amount of drugs and alcohol he’d taken that night for what happened.

Speaking in court today Nadine's mother, Claire Lott, spoke of her love for her eldest daughter.

She described  Murtagh's actions as “monstrous, evil and the devil’s work” and said every minute of her life since Nadine was taken from her is a struggle – a never-ending nightmare.
