A man in his 50s has pleaded guilty to the murder of Emma McCrory, a Dublin woman who was found after a fire at her home almost three years ago.
George Turner from Fairview Avenue, Fairview in Dublin was arraigned before the Central Criminal Court this morning.
He pleaded guilty to murder and will be sentenced on Friday.
Emma McCrory, who was in her 40s and had two children, was found dead at her home on Howth Road, Clontarf on the evening of 15 December 2022 after emergency services were called to a house fire.
Turner, who is 55, was arrested and brought to court in March 2023 when he was charged with murder.
At the District Court, his solicitor had requested a psychiatric assessment for his client, saying that he had a history of mental illness.
He had been remanded in custody before today's guilty plea and faces a mandatory life sentence.
