Brothers ‘looked asleep’ in boot of car

Slain brothers Eoghan and Ruairi Chada were curled up beside each other and looked like they were asleep when gardaí opened the boot of the car driven by their father Sanjeev.

It emerged yesterday that Mr Chada crashed his car in excess of 130km/h into a stone wall outside Westport, Co Mayo.

However, the airbag prevented his attempted suicide, and he escaped with relatively minor physical injuries.
