She spoke to
The Sun Online:
“I last saw Sinead on Sunday, she’d obviously been to Sainsbury’s and had a few bits in her bag. She didn’t talk, she had her head down.”
“I last spoke to her about a month ago for around an hour. She was desperate, she said everything was going wrong.”
“We had a chat and I said you need to go get help but she said no it’s all going to be sorted I’m OK now.”
Barbara says the mother was quiet and kept to herself.
“She spoke to me and I think one other neighbour.”
“I just can’t believe she’s gone.”
Homicide inspector Dave Bolton says that it is unlikely that the incident involved a third party.
“The investigation is at a very early stage but enquiries so far lead us to believe there is a likelihood that the tragic events that led to the deaths do not involve a third party.”
“We are appealing to anyone who has any information to come and speak with us,” he said.
