THE FATHER OF two boys whose bodies were found in a car near Westport in Co Mayo earlier this week has been charged in connection with their murders.
Sanjeev Chada, 43, has appeared at a special sitting of Swinford District Court in Mayo tonight where he has been charged over the murders of Eoghan, 10, and Ruairi Chada, 5, RTÉ reports.

Don't know about anyone else, but I find this just heartbreaking. Their poor mother has lost her babies and husband. It genuinely does bring tears to my eyes

I can imagine that there is some psychological issues with their father, and god knows there is enough of that all over the world, but it begs the question what would drive a father to kill his two sons? Did he truly believe they were better off dead? It's also alleged that he wanted to commit suicide.

I know that these stories are becoming more prevalent, but are their signs that people should look out for?

May Eoghann and Ruairi rest in peace.

People with severe mental problems don't tend to think very logically.

I know, still though it's beyond sad, that poor woman in Carlow, her heart must be shattered.

Did he leave his seatbelt on when he drove into the wall?

Holsten

Very sad indeed.

The guy has to have some severe mental disorders.

Read that according to 'sources' the relationship between mother and father was fine. So F'k knows. Most times you read of these kinds of stories, it's because one parents threatened the other parent with divorce and taking the kids. But that doesn't seem to be the case...according to the news.

It's all just speculation until the trial

Isn't there money missing from some project he was involved with ?

These children/parent murder/suicides have become far too common in recent years, if you have to go then go but leave the kids at home.

When people are that irrational death seems better than abandonment.

If i cant have them then noone can.
If i cant raise them properly then noon can.
If i cant ensure they are safe then noone can.


Either or, but if your head is ****ed then one of the above would drive some people to kill their kids.

Totally agree, I just don't get it, I'm sickened by what he did, and I'm so sad for their mother.

Or maybe "I dont want to mess up their lives when I kill myself so I will kill them too"

My heart goes out to the family.. 2 beautiful young boys have been robbed of their futures and a Mother has been robbed of her babies.

It's unthinkable.

I just hope to God it was quick whatever he did to them.. may they rest in peace.

Ok fair enough, but I don't get how he failed to kill himself. Apparently the boys were dead a few hrs before the crash.
If he really wanted to he could have made sure to kill himself.

So he killed them and lost his nerve, or his sense of self preservation kicked in.

All I can think is how empty that poor mothers life is now.
It is an unimaginable nightmare .

It's sad whichever way you look at it. I'm not sure if discussing it and making assumptions is a great idea either tbh. It might affect any future investigation or trial.

I read they died before the crash of asphyxiation.

grey_so_what

I can't imagine the pain the Mother is going through.

God bless those two little boys, I can't bear to think of their last few hours.

naughtysmurf

Some people end up in very dark places and they see no way out even if it's quite obvious to rational people that there are many solutions / resolutions to their problems & issues
It's all very sad

This is a terrible tragedy, I know, but maybe you should stop bothering with the news if it has such an impact on your personal life.

Femme_Fatale

It's just an understandable gut reaction. Not enough reason to stop bothering with the news.

He's a 'suspected' child killer.

Ah yeah, empathy, that rarely used emotion :rolleyes:

Just hope one of the kids didn't witness the other being killed. Dreadful to think of what happened. Better off trying to block it out.

How on earth can harming your children become part of a solution to any problem? Beyond belief.

This is one of the first things I thought of.

Imagine the horror of any child realising what was happening.

I truly hope that whatever else, neither child had to experience their brother being killed and wondering if they were next.

I was wondering if maybe the fact that the Gardai raised alertness so rapidly and nationally maybe made the killer act quicker with his actions?

Maybe if he felt panicked?

Kinda begs the question should it have been a personal appeal from their mother as apposed to an alert. Dunno if the outcome would have been different, but it might have been.

different strokes for different folks but i just cant understand how the death of a stranger(s) can make another stranger be tearful.

people die everyday in all sorts of crazy circumstances.

This case is before the courts so it's not appropriate to discuss it here.
