A FAMILY OF three, including an Irish mother and her daughter, have been found dead in an apartment on the Costa del Sol in Spain in what is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide.
The couple in their 50s and their daughter in her late 20s, who it is believed had down syndrome, were long term residents in Spain.
They were all found dead in their apartment in the town of Mijas, in Fuengirola near Malaga in southern Spain yesterday evening.
It was initially reported that the three were all British but the Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the mother and daughter were Irish and from Dublin. The DFA has also made contact with the family of the pair in Dublin.
It is also liaising with Spanish Police who said yesterday evening that the bodies of the three were discovered by the landlord of the property who had not heard from the family in recent days and had not been paid rent.
“He went to the house [on Wednesday] and when there was no reply at the door, he went inside. Inside he saw the man dead on the sofa and immediately called the Guardia Civil,” a police spokeswoman is quoted as saying on the BBC website.
“When officers inspected the house, they found the wife and the daughter dead in a bedroom.”

You would think after all the wars and bloddy conflict we have had over last 120 years, this either would have been sorted out by now or governments would be terrified of the cost in lives or money, one big peeing contest.
@Valentine Kane: where have u been living, europe and the world is more at peace since ww2 than any period in history… war is part of our history and unfortunately our future. Its the type of war thats its the trouble…
Russia has had a huge win without needing to fire a shot. America has accepted Russia’s ‘ Red Lines’. Ukraine will not be joining NATO (which will do what America tells it to do) and has been instructed by the US to engage with the Minsk II Accords in order to resolve the Donbass issue.
So it is,
Russia 1. Neo Cons 0.
@Des Hanrahan: I must have missed that press release. Oh yeah, you just made it up.
@Eoin Roche: Everything I stated is correct . If you had bothered to do even cursory research you would know that .
My mistake it’s Ukraine is not in NATO apologies, time for another coffee I think
I’m confused this article states that the US was a founding member of NATO but later says the US is not a member of NATO, which is it?
Ukraine will not be allowed join NATO as it will put them at the doorstep of Russia. Unfortunate location they find themselves in.
Better brush up on my russian ,Ich bin EIN Berliner ,i think I’ll be starting from scratch ha
The weather in the next 4 weeks will be critical in determining an invasion – hopefully, it won’t freeze over and open a window for the perkies to attack
have your say
