Gardaí prepare to charge Chada over the murder of his two sons

Gardaí are likely to seek charges today against Sanjeev Chada in connection with the murder of his children, Eoghan and Ruairi.

The 43-year-old was arrested at lunchtime yesterday after he was discharged from Mayo General Hospital.

The bodies of Eoghan, aged 10, and Ruairi, five, were released at around 4pm yesterday but it was not until last night before the family were able to take the long journey from the hospital to Ballinkillen, Co Carlow.
