Mother and two child murder victims to be buried

The funeral is to take place today of Sarah Hines and her two young children who were murdered in Limerick last week.

The 25-year-old was found stabbed to death at a house in Newcastle West along with her three-year-old son Reece and her five-month-old baby girl, Amy.

Her friend, 20-year-old Alicia Brough from Cork, who was also murdered was laid to rest earlier this week.

A 31-year-old man is in custody charged with all four murders.

Ms Hines and her children will be cremated at a private service following funeral mass this morning at St Patrick's Church in the village of Tournafulla.
