Garrett McCormack BL, prosecuting, told the court that when gardaí arrived at the scene of the incident, Wsiubiak approached them. She used Google Translate on her phone to tell them she had carried out the attack.
The court heard Wsiubiak knew the first victim, who was the main target of the acid attack, and that this woman had provided translation services for her. They had not been in contact for a couple of months prior to the incident. Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Brenda Wright told the jury Wsiubiak’s condition is on the “severe end of mental illness”. She said Wsiubiak “did not know what she was doing was morally wrong” and believed the first victim was part of a “wide conspiracy to torment and harm her”.Medical reports handed into court stated that the first victim suffered significant burns to her face, neck, chest and left upper arm, making up 16 per cent of her body surface.
