Father who lost family in murder-suicide pleads for privacy

THE father who lost his wife and children in this week’s murder-suicide tragedy last night pleaded for privacy to deal with his “unspeakable grief”.

Brian Keegan broke his silence in a statement issued on his behalf by a firm of solicitors who described their client as “devastated and in shock”.

Mr Keegan, 43, returned home from a business trip to the United States on Monday to find his wife Mary, 41, and sons Glen 10, and Andrew 6, dead at the family home at Killakee Walk, Firhouse, Co Dublin.
