A couple who lost three sons in a tragic murder-suicide in Cork six years ago are hoping for a fresh start after getting the key to a new home.

Helen and Thomas O’Driscoll moved out of the council home in Charleville where their eldest boy, Jonathan - who was being treated for severe psychosis - killed his twin nine-year-old brothers Paddy and Thomas, before taking his own life in 2014. They moved into the new house nearby with their sons Jimmy, nine, and Martin, eight, over Christmas.
