It seems bad timing and political overtones may have impeded proper investigation in this case. The story was overshadowed by the high-profile car bomb case, so there was less media pressure on LE to solve it.

How deeply saddening about these three little boys.

It does make me wonder whether more than one person was involved in their stabbings. Wouldn't at least one of them have ran to get help?

Rest in Peace dear Richard, Russell and David. You should all be alive and telling stories like grandfathers do.

That was my dad's case. Yes it was true his story was in the media for a long time. But, after he died the boys' story was published again so I remember it. I knew Charles Kelly personally and he talked about it often. Very tragic case. :(
