A woman has pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of a father-of-four whose body was found in a lake in County Down.
Lesley Ann Dodds, 24, of Mount Vernon Road, Belfast, had been due to go on trial for the murder of William Thompson McCormick, also known as Pat.
Prosecuting KC David McDowell amended the indictment to include the lesser offence of manslaughter.
Mr McCormick was last seen alive in Comber on 30 May 2019.
The 55-year-old’s body was found in a lake in the Ballygowan area six weeks later.
