Pray for us, says grieving wife and mother

PRAY for us was the simple plea from grieving mother Una Butler, who must today bury her two daughters, who were killed by their father, John.

Una Butler will this afternoon need all the comforting and support she can get as she sees her two children leave their home for their final journey. Her husband’s body is also reposing in the family home, but will have a separate service on tomorrow.

A statement yesterday on behalf of Una Butler and the family of the late John Butler said: “It is with great sadness that Una Butler and the family of the late John Butler have brought home the bodies of John, Zoe and Ella to the family home at Ballycotton, Co Cork.
