Gardaí questioning a man for the suspected killing of three family members in rural Co Louth are examining his medical history and recent behaviour to try and piece together what might have led to the deaths.

A number of items, including possible weapons, were removed from a house where the three bodies — two men and one woman — were found on Monday morning.
