Mourning families unite in grief

RELATIVES on both sides of Saturday’s murder-suicide in Clonroche have united to help deal with the loss of the Flood family.

On Sunday at 8.30pm John and Kathleen Kehoe hosted a mass in their home to pray for all four members of the family.

Just 39 hours earlier they had lost their daughter Lorraine Flood, 38, and their grandchildren Mark, 6, and Julie, 5, at the hands of their son-in-law Diarmuid Flood, 41, who also took his own life.
