A jury has cleared a woman of murdering her ex-boyfriend in Limerick but convicted her of his manslaughter.

Monika Matracka stabbed Michal Rejmer to death at the home they shared at The Pines, Briarfield in Castletroy in 2015.

During the trial, the court heard theyÂ’d been in a long-term relationship that came to an end sometime before the end of 2015 but that they still lived together.

Michal was reported missing on Jan 6th last year and his body was found in their back garden two days later.

The 35-year-old was remanded in custody ahead of sentencing and her case is due to come before the court again on Monday week.
