Gardai has launched a murder investigation into their deaths.

The scene at Llywellen Court, Ballinteer, was sealed for a few days while investigators searched the area.

PRAYERS

Prayers were said for the mother and two children at the Irish Islamic Cultural Center in Clonskeagh.

The three coffins sat side by side in the center while Imam Hussein Halawa said a series of prayers before his burial.

The bodies were taken to the Newcastle Cemetery where they were buried.

Gardai said details of the autopsy results were not being released for operational reasons.

ALARM HIGH

Concerned neighbors had raised the alarm before noon on Wednesday, October 28, and Gardai made the grim discovery when they reached the scene.

Gardai urged the public not to release misinformed information in public, saying it does not help the investigation.

Dozens of locals held a candlelight vigil outside the family’s home hours after their bodies were found.

No arrests have been made at this time.
