In April 2007 Ciara Dunne and her two children 4 year old Lean and 3 year old Shania were killed by husband and father Adrian Dunne. He then took his own life. Having prepared their wills and visited Funeral Directors in the weeks before the murders, it has been said that Adrian and Ciara planned the murders together before Adrian carried them out. An inquiry into the murders found that the family faced financial challenges as well as Adrian being a controlling force in the family and made recommendations for change.  This is the story of the Dunne Family.  Information and support  Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline    References  Inquiry report contentBBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Mother and girls buried together The War At Home | Broadsheet.ie Inquest hears details of Monageer tragedy BBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Tragedy family 'picked coffins' Mother and girls died by unlawful killing - inquest – The Irish Times Dunne Family Inquest Verdict Announced | Irish News, 21/05/2009 No 'definitive motive' for Monageer deaths Report finds no single cause of Monageer family deaths – The Irish TimesBBC NEWS | Northern Ireland | Parents 'worried about daughter'Picture painted of control freak who dominated wife | Irish Independent Credits  Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by Clare Laxton Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio Music from Tyee Brunt-Clifford Home | TBC.COMPOSER If you’re enjoying the podcast and would like to support its running, please consider buying me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/clarelaxton  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
