Awful.

I wonder if the arrested man is the boyfriend of the 18 year old?

<modsnip - quoted post was removed>

Given the age of the twins, I'd say that was their First Holy Communion day, a Catholic ceremony <modsnip> The girls dress like brides. First Communion or Confirmation first? - Catholicireland.net

This is a huge day in the young lives of Catholic children in Ireland.

This is just horrific. My heart goes out to the family and the community.

I just found out about this horrific crime late last night while looking at another story. What happened is incomprehensible. Maniacal and pure evil.

The trauma that their dear mother experienced may never heal. The horror the police, first responders, etc experienced on the scene...

This murderer must never see the light of day...needs to be locked away for ever. I don't know if Ireland has life without parole.

Any idea when the trial might be?

Any idea when the trial might be?

Andy Cash has been charged with three counts of murder. The State must complete a "book of evidence" and serve it on him before a trial order is granted.
