A mother and her two children were killed 'in an unspeakable way' when the three of them were shot dead in their quiet home village, a priest has said.
Vanessa Whyte and her children James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, died on Wednesday last week in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
Police said a triple murder and attempted suicide was a line of inquiry after Ms Whyte's husband allegedly 'killed all three and turned the gun on himself'.
Agricultural contractor Ian Rutledge, 43, who died on Monday, is understood to be the only suspect in the shooting of his family.
At a service of removal in Maguiresbridge ahead of the funeral in Co Clare on Saturday, mourners gathered this morning at St Mary's Church to pay their respects.
