Exclusive: Noble, who previously served time for stabbing a young mother to death in front of her children, was due to appear before Dublin District Court on Wednesday.
Convicted killer Kelly Nobel was due in court for allegedly assaulting and causing harm to her son’s girlfriend.
However, Noble was not present in court today as her solicitors John Shanley said she was in hospital. The solicitor told Judge Paula Murphy he had no further information about why his client was in hospital. Noble has previously served four and a half years of a six-year sentence for manslaughter. She stabbed Emma McLoughlin to death in front of Ms McLoughlin’s children outside Pat’s Supermarket in Laytown, Co Meath in 2006.
Her trial heard how Jacqui Noble had lived for several years with Benson, who regularly beat and raped her in front of their child. During the 30-day trial, the jury heard evidence of shocking and extreme physical, sexual and emotional abuse against her for nearly two decades.
