A woman who faked her own death in a “deliberate scheme” to avoid a Circuit Criminal Court trial has been jailed for three years.
Amy McAuley (35) had been due to stand trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in January 2023 on theft and attempted deception charges, after she used altered documents to take out a €10,000 loan from KBC Bank in 2018 and later unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a second €5,000 loan.
