Hawe parents and three children to be laid to rest later today

A requiem mass will take place in St Mary’s Church, Castlerahan at 4pm today.

THE FUNERAL OF the Hawe family is to take place in Cavan later today.

The requiem mass will take place in St Mary’s Church, Castlerahan at 4pm.

All five will be buried in the cemetery on the church grounds after the mass.

The bodies of Alan Hawe, aged in his 40s, his wife Clodagh Hawe, aged in her 30s, and their three sons Liam (13), Niall (11), and Ryan (6) were found in their home in Barconey on Monday.

Gardaí are treating the deaths as a murder-suicide, and say the answers to the killing are within the house in Oakdene, ten minutes from Ballyjamesduff.

The family was well-known in the Castlerahan area, with Alan Hawe the deputy principal of the local school. Clodagh Hawe was originally from Mount Nugent, ten minutes away and taught at Oristown National School in Kells, Co Meath.
