‘They looked so peaceful’

Prior to the funeral of the twins last May, David Coughlan, a close friend who was with their mother when the bodies were discovered, said: “It was an absolute shock.

They both looked so peaceful. It was just bizarre.

“They were lying on the ground next to the CD player. They were like brothers to me. They were always good fun, always smiling, never depressed. They were just salt of the earth guys.”
