Mother and 2 children dead - Ballinteer (MOD WARNING IN OP)

The Mighty Quinn

This type of story is becoming alarmingly present.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/1028/1174455-bodies-found-in-dublin/

Shocking stuff again. Poor family.


We're not having another debacle like the last thread where repeated mod warnings not to speculate were ignored to the point that thread had to be closed and 20 cards were handed out

Don't speculate

If you do you will receive a forum ban

Ah jesus

That's absolutely shocking stuff, the poor little kids, they should be looking forward to the rest of their lives. I don't want to speculate about what happened, but may all 3 R.I.P.

Becoming all too common these tragedies.

Be right back

Awful news. The poor family.

God, there has a been a few awful ones recent. That woman and child from Lucan was only last week. And almost forgot the nurse and children in Newcastle.

RIP to the deceased.

Oh no! R.I.P.

It's hard not to get overwhelmed by all these tragic incidences lately.

Between the Lucan tragedy last week, the Kanturk shootings the other day and now this dreadful situation, you would despair at how the country has gone.

RIP to all concerned.

Poor kids. May they rest in peace.

Is it too much to have a bit of respect for the deceased and their loved ones and not speculate?

We don’t know what happened, it could be any number of things.

justshane

RIP, A thought also for all the emergency services who are dealing with the incident now.

Mrsmum

There is nothing sadder that a child's death. Rip to them all.

screamer

Awful for their family, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and being honest few actually care, we’re all shocked, speculating etc, but how many of us would actually help someone else? We don’t know what happened in this case, just that a family have lost 3 members and their world turned upside down. RIP.

This. As we speak there are people related to and closely connected to the deceased completely unaware their loved ones are gone forever. These people are about to have their lives turned upside down forever. Show some decorum and respect.

Well said. Must be horrifying to have to deal with something like that.

RIP to all involved.

There's absolutely nothing strange or uncommon about what's about to unfold in this thread. It would be much MUCH more strange if nobody speculated, guessed, wondered or even cared what actually happened!?

This is terrible. Those poor kids.

A tragedy of unfathomable proportion. Two of them now in quick succession. I have nothing more to say except RIP to the deceased and god help their loved ones.

I stopped watching the news a few months ago because I was sick of Brexit and Covid. Looks like I've missed a few shocking weeks.

Too many tragic incidents recently. Makes you think how much of a tough job the Emergency Services have. It's Just awful. Rest In Peace to them all and strength to their loved ones.

What kind of animal would do this, is my only thought. Awful.

Hopefully the police can solve this case.

Wasnt there a female Garda who was the first to respond to something similar to this a few years back? Her head just wasnt right afterwards, slipped into depression or PTSD and never returned to work. You would want to have a head of rocks to be dealing with this stuff on a day to day basis and not have it affect you.

JustAThought

You also have to wonder why the Armed Support Gardai called and broke into the couse when it was a note by neighbours to say they hadn’t seen the family out in a few days - during a lockdown when schools are shut.

I’ve had burglarers IN my house and break-in’s when the people have ‘escaped’ into the garden - and I am still waiting for the gaurds to show up.

God help their poor families.

Because they carry a door breacher in their car and no contact could be made.

Good grief. This has become a very depressing week when we are hearing about these incidents.

My heart goes out to those who have died in this incident & from the other tragedies that happened in Lucan & Kanturk. May they all RIP.

The Mighty Quinn

The house at Llewellyn Court in Ballinteer has been sealed off, and gardaí are investigating if foul play was a factor in the deaths, as suspected.

It is understood all of the resources of a murder inquiry have been committed to the case pending the outcome of postmortem results.

Gardaí were trying to contact the woman’s husband, and father to the children, on Wednesday afternoon but had been unable to locate him.

Neighbours become concerned for the welfare of the woman and her children late on Wednesday morning and they went to investigate at the semi-detached house in an estate close to Marlay Park.

Some local people said there were reports locally of noise coming from the house, including screaming, on Tuesday night.

Late on Wednesday morning , when concerned neighbours were unable to contact the woman and their calls to the house were not answered, the Garda was contacted.

Heard on the radio coming into work that domestic issue calls were up exponentially on this time last year. A staggering amount. Obviously people are spending more time confined to their homes this year and haven’t got their usual outlets. Couple that with financial despair. People will blame the government on this, on top of any other factors.

RIP to those children.

Nobody is blaming the government for crimes.

I’d like to see some proper sentencing for domestic violence and crimes and attacks for a change. It’s also tipping over into the public and streets and parks - you see it more and more - yet the garda shrug their shoulders and most never get to court I’d say. There are virtually no consequences anymore - and everyone knows it.

God help those poor people.

Absolutely tragic situation heart goes out to them and all those that know them personally.

There’s no doubt depression , suicides , mental health issues are going out of control since covid kicked off . The lockdowns are having massive impacts on many many people .
I have never seen as many donations to Pieta House lines in the RIP webpage , young people all over ireland .

It's disgusting to try to push any anti lockdown agendas on a horrific incident Luke this.

For another thread I would say otherwise it's speculation.

I beg to differ. It’s the prevalent viewpoint on social media at the moment which, like it or not, is opinion of the people. Not saying I agree with it either fwiw.

I’ve no anti lockdown agenda , just stating a fact a huge amount of suicides in recent times and there’s a lot of people struggling with not been able to live their lives like normal . You’d want to be blind not to accept that . Doesn’t bother me but lack of social interactions affect people in different ways .

And what does that have to do with this thread?

Kh1993

Hope this doesn’t get classed as speculation but interesting line from IT. (Interesting is the wrong word here)

“ The woman had been the victim of an alleged assault by a person known to her in recent months, though it was not clear if that was in any way connected to her death”

Domestic issues are up massively. It’s not a leap to say the lockdown and it’s factors have contributed. Doesn’t mean there’s an agenda

Relax, I don't see that poster pushing an "anti lockdown agenda" by that post.

Jesus, another heart sinking headline - another young family wiped out. There's no words for a tragedy like this.

May they all RIP.

So sad to hear of another tragedy. Lucan, Kanturk and Ballinteer. Heartfelt condolences to family, friends and all who knew them.

Head in the hands heart-breaking sort of stuff. Cannot believe it. Was in ashop this morning chatting to the shop lady and she showed me the Kanturk story - I literally cannot believe it. And now this. It is beyond awful.
