The trial of a man accused of murdering a Co Wicklow woman in Dublin two years ago continued in London today.
Georgina Eager's mother and three sisters all broke down in the witness box as they testified in the trial of 63-year-old Christopher Newman.
28-year-old Georgina, from Newtownmountkennedy, was found stabbed to death in her bedroom at a house in Walkinstown in May 2003.
Mr Newman, a British citizen, was subsequently arrested in London and charged with her murder. He admits killing her but denies a charge of murder.
Georgina's family all told the court that she had become unhappy working in an alternative therapy clinic for Mr Newman and she wanted to leave his employment.
Her mother also said that she told Georgina, on the telephone, to run because she thought she was being attacked a few hours before she was found dead.
When Mrs Eager was told in court today that the accused had made a will leaving her everything he had, she said it would not bring her daughter back.
The victim's father, George Eager, gave evidence this morning. He told how he searched for his daughter on the day she was killed and how he failed to gain entry to either her flat or the clinic where she worked next door.
He said he rang her mobile phone numerous times throughout the day. He said Georgina’s flatmate said she could hear the phone ringing inside her locked bedroom.
The gardaí came and broke down the door and found her dead on the floor.
The trial continues tomorrow.
