Inquest into death of three Cork brothers takes place

The inquest into the deaths of three Cork brothers who died in Charleville last year takes place in Mallow today.

Nine-year-old twin brothers Thomas and Patrick O'Driscoll were stabbed to death by their older brother Jonathan in their Deerpark home on the outskirts of Charleville.

The 21-year-old's body was discovered shortly after the incident in a woodland area in the nearby town of Buttevant.

He is believed to have been struggling with mental health issues and had taken his own life.

The Cork County Coroner is due to hear the inquests in Mallow today.
