I heard about this on the radio today and was reading about it on Irishtimes.com. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2012/0904/breaking2.htmlThey say it's being treated as suspicious by the Guards. They also say that the HSE was involved with the family. It all seems very strange as no background information is given. I presume people know what happened but that they are just not saying in the press atm. The mother is also undergoing treatement it seems.So does any one know what the story is here? Here are my thoughts.1. The family name is Ward, which is a well known surname of a "certain community"2. Given that it's suspicious, my initial thought is that it was the work of the father or some partner or ex.boyfriend of the mother's.3. Given that the HSE is involved and the mother is in treatment, could it be that she done it? Is she undergoing treatment for psychological difficulties?4. Could it be a retribution crime of some sort?I am really at a loss as to what happened here. If anyone has any ideas on what happened........

The only thing known is, it's fecking tragic.
RIP.

Poor Kid whole life ahead of him. RIP

Bit too early to making speculations also.

speculation gets no one anywhere and threads like this never end well. RIP

Not the place for speculation, could be legal implications of doing so too. Terrible incident RIP young man.

A tabloid paper this morning on its front page blames someone direct and says how he supposedly died at their hands.
I won't say exactly what they report and it will be an ongoing legal issue alone.
Frankly, I don't fully trust the paper either.

Until state investigations complete, its best not to rush in and name or lay blame.

Lol. You're speculating that they re travelers based on surname?

fishy fishy

how will that enrich your life? no offense, but you read like the equivalent of a "rubbernecker" looking at an accident. What does it matter? Just say a little prayer for the boy, and move on.

WTF OP?

You have no idea what the background is to this and you are inviting people to second guess a tragic and sensitive matter. Your theory about the surname is absurd too.

You should really keep these notions inside your head.

I'm from Charleville and there are a lot of rumors going about. We'll have to wait and see.
It is tragic.
