Limerick crash: Father and son to be buried together

The father and son who lost their lives in a suspected murder-suicide car crash are to be buried together in the same coffin, it has been confirmed.

Marco Velocci, 28, and his three-year-old son Alex were killed instantly after the black Audi being driven by Mr Velocci was involved in a head-on collision with a truck on the N24 Limerick to Tipperary road just 2km from the village of Oola shortly before 8.30am on Tuesday.

The little boy’s mother Jodie Power, 26, suffered a broken arm and also a number of stab injuries during an argument at her home with her former partner shortly before the fatal collision.
