Mother and son to be buried tomorrow

The bodies of the 26-year-old former factory worker and her four-year-old special needs son were brought to a Buttevant funeral home yesterday after post-mortem examinations were carried out on Wednesday afternoon by State pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy.

In what appears to have been a pre-planned murder and suicide, Eileen and Evan Murphy died on Tuesday after a 650-metre fall from the Cliffs of Moher. They had travelled from their home in Ballyhea, north Cork, to Galway on Monday, stayed the night, and then gone by excursion coach to the County Clare beauty spot on Tuesday morning.
