Cavan murder-suicide: Father’s note won’t be made public

A suspected murder-suicide note left by Alan Hawe “could contain nothing or could contain everything”, garda sources have said.

But officers yesterday stressed the contents of the letter will “not be released” to the public, given the likely extremely sensitive nature of it.

It comes as the final two of the five autopsies were completed yesterday and as a Garda search team began its examination of the family home in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan.
