latest first- Family demands release of Cavan murder-suicide Garda review Murder · Co. Cavan
In August 2016, Alan Hawe, 40, a vice principal at Castlerahan National School, murdered his wife Clodagh Hawe, 39, and their three sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11, and Ryan, 6, at their home in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, before taking his own life. Hawe killed Clodagh with a hatchet, knife, and his bare hands in the sitting room, then slit the throats of his three sleeping sons. A 2019 Garda Review was critical of the initial investigation, noting that a secret phone, laptops, and other digital devices were destroyed before the review took place. In May 2025, Clodagh's sister Jacqueline Connolly released her memoir 'Deadly Silence' and appealed to Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to release the review findings as a matter of urgency.
