Gardai has published an update on his investigation into the horrific deaths of a young mother and two children in Dublin.

Affira Syed, 11, six-year-old Fazam and her mother Seema Banu Syed were discovered in a home in Llewellyn Court, Ballinteer, South Dublin on Wednesday afternoon.

Sources told Dublin Live that they may have been “dead for several days” before the grim discovery was made.

Neighbors alerted Gardai when the family, who is originally from India, had not been seen recently.

Officers from an Armed Support Unit forcibly entered the house and made the horrible discovery.
