A family of five killed in a Murder-Suicide in Co.Cavan will be laid to rest on Saturday.

Teachers Alan and Clodagh Hawe, along with their sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11 and Ryan, 6, were found in their home near Ballyjamesduff on Monday.

A note was discovered on the back door of the family home which raised the alarm.

It told people not to enter the house and to call the police.

It's understood Mr.Hawe killed his wife and three sons before taking his own life.

Gardaí say they were not looking for anyone else in relation to the deaths, and there was no evidence that any firearms were used.

The Catholic bishop of Kilmore, Leo O'Reilly, said the whole community was "deeply traumatised" by the deaths.

The service will be held 4pm in Saint Mary's Church, Castlerahan on Saturday.
