Murdered mother and daughter brought home

The family stood silently as the plain van with blackened windows drew up.

Driving across a path strewn with branches of the fir trees that give the here countryside a rich, verdant feel, it stopped outside the old school.

Three weeks to the day after their bloodied bodies were discovered in Killorglin, Co Kerry, Jolanta Lubiene and her eight-year-old daughter, Enrika, had arrived home. Mother and daughter, taken in such tragic circumstances, had made their final journey back to their heartbroken family.
