A man accidentally shot dead his former lover at a launderette in Portstewart, County Londonderry, while intending to kill himself, a court has heard.
Fred McClenaghan, 49, of Broad Street in Magherafelt, has gone on trial charged with murdering Marion Millican, as she ate her lunch on 11 March 2011.
The prosecution told a jury of ten men and two women at Antrim Court Court that what the accused did was no accident, but "murder pure and simple". Mr McClenaghan denies murder.
A prosecuting lawyer said that in the months before the shooting Mr McClenaghan had told counsellors of suicidal feelings, but he had admitted that his plan was "to kill my girlfriend and then himself".

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
