Post mortems due on Wexford mother and daughters

Post mortem examinations are due to be carried out today on the bodies of the 29-year-old woman and her two daughters who were found dead on a beach in Co Wexford yesterday morning.

The bodies of Sharon Grace and her daughters Abby (aged three) and Michaela (aged four) were found by a group of fishermen on Kaat's Strand in Crosstown at around 10.30am.

Ms Grace, who was living in the Barntown area, was separated from her husband and is believed to have been suffering from depression.

Gardaí believe she deliberately drowned herself and the two girls.
