A 53-year-old man has been sentenced to life for the murder of his wife in their home in Dublin in 2023.

Stephen Mooney, from Kilbarrack Road, originally pleaded not guilty to killing 43-year-old Anna Mooney on 15 June 2023.

The trial was due to start in March, but he changed his plea after gardai (Irish police) found footage of the murder on a mobile phone, RTÉ reports.

The footage showed him entering a room with the knife used to kill her.

Anna Mooney was found dead in her home in Kilbarrack, in Dublin, in 2023

Gardaí were able to access the footage when an update of the software used to analyse phones allowed the device to be unlocked without a password.

Mooney stabbed his wife to death in the kitchen/living room of their home.

He called emergency services and when they arrived he was leaning over his wife’s body.

On Monday, Mr Justice Paul McDermott imposed the mandatory sentence of life in prison.

He said the murder was a devastating loss for Ms Mooney’s family and had caused huge damage and trauma.
