Missing money ‘an ingredient’ in Sanjeev’s actions, say gardaí

Community figures close to the extended Chada family in Co Carlow are perplexed at how Sanjeev Chada’s financial troubles may have triggered his extreme behaviour, ending in the death of his two children.

Gardaí said Mr Chada’s had lost significant sums of money recently while trading shares online and was under investigation in relation to the alleged embezzlement of around €50,000 from Ballinkillen Community Centre.

Mr Chada, who ran an IT consultancy business from the family home in Ballinkillen, outside Bagenalstown, had worked as a volunteer in the local community centre for some time.
