Young lives cut short

Gardaí were last night waiting to question a man in connection with the death of his two children after a nationwide search for them.

The bodies of brothers Eoghan Chada, 10, and Ruairi, 5, were discovered in a car driven by their father Sanjeev, who crashed it outside Westport, Co Mayo.

Gardaí believe the boys were not killed as a result of the crash and were already dead. There were unconfirmed reports they were found in the boot of the car.
