    The children’s mother has been arrested. The suspicion is that she sedated and then smothered the children.

    Thankfully they use the photo that doesnt have her in it.

    I don't think she should be in the photos doing the rounds in the press either. But the dad put the photo out of the family altogether earlier through the Gardaí with that heartbreaking statement. Really don't think that it was appropriate that be published and as mentioned previously the man is bound to be totally incapable of rational thought or decisions in his current state.

    Why do you see her been in the photos as an issue?

    It's different for everyone but it doesn't sit well with me. Same reason why I don't think she should be buried alongside her children, ever, whenever that day comes for her. I feel somebody should have perhaps advised a totally broken man that issuing a family photo with her in it will have her splashed all over social media and the rag red tops here and to some extent the UK instantly. To a lesser extent, she is still alive, and her face is now very public. Whatever is left of her life is pretty much done now.

    I really think this thread should be locked out of respect for the children’s family and people who know them.

    As you said, he’s a broken man, it can’t be easy when you’re in distress like that. I cannot even imagine a fraction of what he must be feeling. It’s so horrific. Every update on the news on this is so sad to read. My heart goes out to to both families, relatives, neighbours and friends

    My own beliefs are she has lost any right to anonymity due to her suspected actions.
    A colleague of mine knows the father very well, severe post natal depression was mentioned. I'm not speculating on the cause but however believe what happened was not done by someone who was of a healthy mind. She will have to live what she has done and I suspect she will suffer everyday until she draws her last breathe.
    I suspect her final resting place will be with the children. It is early for the childrens father but forgiveness is vital to healing.

    If she ever gets the help that she so desperately needs, and the realisation of what has been lost becomes clear, I’d imagine the reality of what occurred will be too much to deal with. It’s just so desperately sad.
