Garda, the national police service of the Republic of Ireland, is looking into the alleged murder-suicide. The Irish Mirror reported that the killing of Mark O’Sullivan — the second brother — may have been planned by his younger brother and father beforehand.
On Tuesday, October 27, two autopsies occurred to try and figure out how Tadgh, 59, Mark, 26, and Diarmuid, 23, all lost their lives. Mark apparently died first on Monday, October 26, in the upstairs bedroom of the family farmhouse from gunshot wounds, while Tadgh and Diarmuid also died from fatal gunshot wounds. Tadgh and Diarmuid were found in a field about 600 meters away from the house.
