“Such was the concern of the staff, gardaí were contacted leading to the charges brought against the accused.” “From the evidence heard in this trial it is clear that the staff members at Coovagh House became very alarmed as the expiry date of the High Court care order approached in September 2020, and the nature and content of the threats issued by the accused became more sinister, more alarming and more vile,” Judge O’Donnell said. Kardashian had disclosed the threats against her mother to staff at Coovagh House on dates between March and September 2020, including during a meeting to discuss a post-release care plan for her. The authors of the reports feel it is incumbent on the State services and associated medical services to get involved and try to come to some long-term solution - Judge Tom O’Donnell Kardashian remained at Coovagh House until her residency was due to expire shortly before she turned 19, and she was taken into custody at the women’s section of Limerick Prison in late September 2020 after appearing before Limerick District Court. Her residency was extended beyond her 17th birthday at Coovagh House, Limerick, a residential facility for high-risk and vulnerable children, as it appeared there was no place in the State to meet her complex needs. When aged 12 she was placed into residential state care on foot of a “High Court special care order”. Owing to difficulties in her home, Kardashian had been taken into foster care at a young age. The judge had requested pre-sentencing psychiatric and probation reports on Kardashian’s “complex” background, from her childhood through to her adulthood, which he said had made for “chilling and disturbing” reading. She had said she was going to wait in the house until she had satisfied herself that her mother had “bled out” and no longer had a pulse. Judge O’Donnell said Kardashian had set out her plan in “chilling” detail.
