Post mortems completed on Limerick murder victims

Post mortems have been completed on the bodies of two women and two small children found dead in a Limerick house on Tuesday.

The examinations confirmed that 25-year-old Sarah Hines, her three year old son, her five month old baby girl and her friend Alicia Brough from Cork all died from stab wounds.

A mass will be said in their memory in Newcastle West later this afternoon.

The 31 year old male arrested in connection with the incident remains in custody. He is still receiving medical attention for a hand injury at Cork University Hospital.
