Bodies of two men discovered in farm buildings

The remains were found on two neighbouring farms near Bagnalstown, Co Carlow.

THE BODIES OF two men have been discovered on neighbouring farm premises in Carlow.

The first body, of a  man believed to be in his early 70s, was found by firefighters responding to reports of a fire at a farmhouse early this morning.

They discovered the remains after arriving on the farm at Ballycormack, near Bagnalstown, at around 4am.

Five hours later at around 9am, a second body was found in a building on a neighbouring farm. The body is thought to be that of a man in his 60s.

Both bodies remain at the scene, which has been sealed off for forensic examination with Garda specialists on their way.

The State Pathologist has been called.

    Can u confirm we’re they found in farm buildings or the farm house itself.

    In any case this is extremely upsetting.

    I never thought this would happen so close to home. May the two men rest in peace.
