Kerry murder-suicide: 'It's impossible to get your head around what could have happened'

Once again, a rural Irish community is reeling after a well-liked ordinary family is destroyed by violence that has left three people dead

Gardaí in Listowel have commenced a criminal investigation into a fatal firearms incident which occurred at a domestic residence near Lixnaw, North County Kerry.

As heavy rain fell over the townland of Kilfeighney in north Kerry last night, a numbed community sheltered itself behind closed doors.

A knock on a door of a house near where Mossie O’Sullivan is believed to have killed his long-term partner Eileen O’Sullivan and son Jamie leads to the slow opening of a window.
