  • Man convicted of murdering sons in Mayo applies for parole Murder · Co. Mayo

    Sanjeev Chada, a 52-year-old non-Irish man, strangled his sons Eoghan, 10, and Ruairi, 5, in an isolated lane near Ballintubber, County Mayo, on 29 July 2013, after taking them from their home in County Carlow under the pretext of bowling. He placed their bodies in the boot of his car and deliberately crashed into a wall. He was arrested after a failed suicide attempt, pleaded guilty in 2014, and was sentenced to two concurrent life terms. He has now applied for parole after serving 12 years, with no decision yet made.
