The extended families of a father, mother, and their three sons, who died in a suspected murder-suicide have asked mourners to make donations to a leading suicide charity.

Alan Hawe was found dead along with his wife Clodagh and their children Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and Ryan, 6, in their countryside house in Co Cavan on Monday morning.

Their funerals take place together today at St Mary’s Church, Castlerahan, and they are to be buried in the adjoining cemetery.
