By Ruaidhrí GiblinA woman on trial for the attempted murder of a civil servant, stabbed a woman in the face at a LUAS stop two weeks earlier, the Central Criminal Court has heard. Opening the case on Tuesday, prosecuting counsel, Anthony Sammon SC, said the central issue was the state of mind of Ms Kenna at the time. Dr Monks said Ms Kenna had schizophrenic affective disorder and, at the same time, exhibited psychotic delusions and hallucinations. He said Ms Kenna believed she was receiving messages from the television and could communicate with celebrities. He told the jury that two weeks before the alleged attempted murder of Ms Bourke, Ms Kenna stabbed a woman at a LUAS stop in the face with a pen.
