Ireland Trial of Barbie Kardashian adjourned for psychiatric report
Barbie Kardashian, a 22-year-old transgender woman of no fixed abode, is alleged to have made threats to kill or cause serious harm to two women, Tegan McGhee and Roisin Linnane, in Limerick on four occasions in 2023. One alleged threat against McGhee was on February 25, 2023, and three against Linnane were on April 25, June 9 and June 11, 2023. The alleged threats are contrary to Section 5 of the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, 1997. At Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on April 29, 2024, the trial was adjourned because the defence sought a psychiatric report, and the judge said he was concerned about delays. The accused is in custody, and the matter was put into the following week with a trial to be fixed for that date.
