Katharina Schneider, a 34-year-old woman from Humanushaus, Switzerland, flew home October 8th, following her arrest on the grounds of singer Chris De Burgh’s Dublin home three days earlier. After initially being remanded in police custody until next month, Schneider, who had bombarded the singer with telephone calls and faxes, was escorted to Dublin Airport by a doctor and a nurse and placed on the flight. Ronald Lynam, solicitor for the defendant, produced a medical report which suggested she had a history of mental illness. Asking permission from the judge to address the court, Ms. Schneider thanked the precinct and everyone “who has been very nice to me. I hope to come back soon.”
