Tragic Brothers Buried Together

TWO brothers who died in a suspected family murder-suicide were buried together yesterday.

Willie, 66, and Paddy Hennessy, 60, were laid to rest following a private funeral service in Mitchelstown, Co Cork.

Their brother, 59-year-old Johnny Hennessy, is believed to have killed them in an axe attack at the family home outside Mitchelstown last Friday.

He took his own life hours later. His funeral took place on Wednesday.

Mourners attended yesterday’s service for the brothers at Our Lady Conceived Without Sin.

Willie is survived by his sister Breda, brother-in-law Ned, nieces Elaine and Lisa, grandnephews Jack, Danny, Logan and Caleb and grandniece Halle.
