Murder-Suicide:Man kills his Family and kills Himself.

A man who killed himself,his wife and his three young sons is thought to have left notes explaining why he 'killed' his family at their countryside house in Co Cavan.


Alan Hawe is believed to have stabbed his fellow schoolteacher wife Clodagh, and their sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and six-year-old Ryan at their home in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan. He then hanged himself. In one chilling message, Mr Hawe is thought to have explained how his family 'would not have coped without him'.


 The bodies of the children were found upstairs in their room while Alan and his wife  found downstairs.
