‘Help us understand the insanity that took the lives of our beloved children’

Conor, Darragh and Carla with their father Andrew McGinley. Their mother Deirdre Morley has been found not guilty by reason of insanity of their murders.

The husband of Deirdre Morley, who killed her three children, said the verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity was the right one but he is "still no closer to understanding" why his children died. 

After four hours and 23 minutes of deliberation, the jury delivered its verdict, bringing to an end a trial that was described as a “tragedy of enormous proportions”.
