Husband’s ‘bad feeling’ on day wife and son died

A FATHER sobbed uncontrollably throughout a two-hour inquest yesterday, which heard how his 33-year-old wife and their eight-month-old son drowned in a stream.

Gareth Owen described how “he had a bad feeling” on the morning of July 14, 2007, after his wife Nollaig took their infant son Tadhg for a walk in woods near her family’s home in Kilworth, Co Cork.

Mr Owen, who is South African-born, was visiting from England at the time, where he had a job.
