‘A beautiful woman and a great mother’

SOME slight semblance of normality returned to the Killakee estate in Firhouse yesterday as local people tried to make sense of the tragedy that has struck their neighbourhood over the past few days.

Few people were hanging around the quiet residential area in stark contrast to 24 hours earlier, when it emerged that local resident Mary Keegan and her two children had suffered violent deaths in their home.

Little moved on Killakee Walk yesterday the sedate cul-de-sac where at some time over last weekend, the former beautician killed her two young boys, Glen and Andrew, before committing suicide.
