A judge has recommended that a Killarney man, who has been in custody in Cork Prison, be sent to the Central Mental Hospital without delay for treatment. Yesterday, 51-year-old Billy Burns of no fixed abode appeared before Tralee Circuit Court where he pleaded guilty to the unauthorised taking of a vehicle and theft of fuel. He is the son of Miriam Burns who was murdered in her home last August. Radio Kerry journalist Mary Gallagher was in court for the hearing.
