The case of Ennis woman Sharon Collins is due back in court today as she attempts to appeal her conviction for conspiracy to murder her partner PJ Howard and his sons.
The 45 year old mother of two formerly of Kildysart Road, Ennis, is currently serving a six year jail sentence for conspiracy to murder, along with hiring a hitman, Essam Eid, to carry out the killings.
It’s almost a year now since Lying Eyes Sharon Collins and her would be Las Vegas hitman, Essam Eid began six year jail sentences for their roles in the plot to kill Ennis businessman PJ Howard and his sons Robert and Niall.
Ms Collins was convicted of conspiracy to murder her partner and his sons as well as hiring a hitman over the internet, while Egyptian National Eid was jailed for extortion after he demanded money from the Howards to cancel the contract on their lives.
The unlikely partners in crime always protested their innocence and are waiting to appeal those convictions with their linked cases up for mention before the Court of Criminal Appeal in Dublin today.
It understood Sharon Collins and Essam Eid will not attend today’s hearing but will be hoping for dates to be set for an early hearing of their appeals.
