Crowds attend funeral of mum and children shot dead in Northern Ireland
Veterinary surgeon Vanessa Whyte, 45, and her children James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, died in a shooting at their home in Maguiresbridge, Co Fermanagh, in July.
The suspect, Ian Rutledge, a 43-year-old agricultural worker, died on Monday evening.
He had himself suffered a gunshot wound during the attack on 23 July.
Rutledge was taken to hospital, where he remained in a serious condition until the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) announced he had died.
It is understood he was the only suspect in the murder investigation.
Police in Northern Ireland have said a triple murder and attempted suicide was a line of inquiry.
Bright colours at funeral
Following a service of removal in Maguiresbridge on Wednesday, a funeral service took place for Ms Whyte and her children in Barefield, Co Clare, where she was originally from.
Crowds travelled to attend the funeral at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday.
Many of the mourners wore Gaelic Athletic Association jerseys and bright colours as requested by the family as they lined the main street to watch the three hearses pass by.
The three are to be buried together in Templemaley Cemetery later.
Tributes paid to 'lovely-natured' children
A local Gaelic football club said last week that Ms White and her children were all "active and beloved" members of their club.
Sara and James Rutledge also used to be part of a local cricket club, which said in a statement that it was "extremely saddened by the tragic events".
"Both of them turned out to be talented young cricketers and two absolutely lovely-natured children," the statement read.

Victims identified in Montana bar massacre as cops escalate urgent manhunt for 'armed and dangerous' gunman
The four people who were shot dead at a Montana bar on Friday have been identified as authorities escalate their search for the 'armed and dangerous' at-large suspect. The victims ranged in age from 59 to 74 and were a female bartender and three male patrons. The four were named by authorities as Daniel Edwin Baillie, 59, Nancy Lauretta Kelley, 64, David Allen Leach, 70, and Tony Wayne Palm, 74. All four lived in Anaconda, the remote Montana town where the shooting unfolded on Friday. Meanwhile, the former soldier suspected of killing four people at a Montana bar is still at large and may be armed after escaping in a stolen vehicle containing clothes and camping gear, officials said. Authorities believe 45-year-old Michael Paul Brown killed the four people at The Owl Bar in Anaconda, Montana, about 75 miles southeast of Missoula in a valley hemmed in by mountains. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said during a news conference on Sunday that Brown committed the shooting with a rifle that law enforcement believes was his personal weapon. Knudsen warned residents in the town of just over 9,000 people that Brown, who lived next door to the bar where he was a regular, could come back to the area. 'This is an unstable individual who walked in and murdered four people in cold blood for no reason whatsoever. So there absolutely is concern for the public,' Knudsen said. Robert Wyatt, 70, said he was neighbors with Leach who died. 'Everybody is nervous since Friday', Wyatt said. Leach was deaf and kept mostly to himself, Wyatt said, and he only recalls Leach having a family visit once almost a year ago. But Leach was always happy to help his neighbors with chores like moving furniture. 'If you needed help, Dave would help,' Wyatt said. 'He was a good neighbor.' Numerous public events were canceled over the weekend as the search entered its third day, according to local Facebook pages. As law enforcement scours the wild terrain, the woods southwest of Anaconda have been closed to the public by the National Forest System. David Jabarek, 70, said that a mass shooting in a place as small as Anaconda is baffling to many. He said that he regularly saw both the shooter and the victims over the course of the 20 years that he has lived in Anaconda. 'We only have 9,000 people, so it's like, what the hell just happened? Everybody knows everybody here,' he said. Jabarek was headed to Owl Bar less than 30 minutes before the shooting happened, at around 10:15am. On an impulse, he went to run an errand nearby instead. When he came back to the area, he saw the bar was surrounded by police. 'If I'd have been in there when I was supposed to be, you wouldn't be talking to me. Somebody be talking to you about me,' he said. The close call is now keeping Jabarek up at night but he said that he isn't afraid of the prospect of Brown returning. 'Everybody around here has two dozen firearms in their house, and right now they´re within hands reach,' Jabarek said. Investigators are considering all possible options for Brown's whereabouts, the attorney general said. That includes searching the woods where Brown hunted and camped while he was a kid. But Knudsen noted that during peak tourist season in western Montana some law enforcement officials would have to return to their local jurisdictions for their regular responsibilities. Brown served in the Army as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005 and deployed to Iraq from early 2004 until March 2005, said Lt. Col. Ruth Castro, an Army spokesperson. Brown was in the Montana National Guard from 2006 to March 2009, Castro said, and left military service at the rank of sergeant. Brown's niece, Clare Boyle, said that her uncle has struggled with mental illness for years, and she and other family members repeatedly sought help. 'This isn't just a drunk/high man going wild,' she said. 'It's a sick man who doesn´t know who he is sometimes and frequently doesn't know where or when he is either.' Knudsen said on Sunday that Brown was known to local law enforcement before the shooting. It was widely believed that he knew at least some of the victims, given how close he lived to the bar. Law enforcement released a photograph of Brown from surveillance footage taken shortly after the fatal shootings. He appeared to be barefoot and in minimal clothing. But law enforcement now believes Brown ditched the vehicle he escaped in and stole a different one that had camping gear, shoes and clothes in it, leaving open the possibility that Brown is now clothed. The last time that law enforcement saw Brown was on Friday afternoon, but there was 'some confusion' because there were multiple white vehicles involved, Knudsen said. There is a $7,500 reward for any information that leads to Brown's capture. 'This is still Montana. Montanans know how to take care of themselves. But please, if you have any sightings, call 911,' Knudsen urged.

Accused family-slayer warned jurors they would 'regret' convicting him in past trial - years before he 'killed family of four', cops say
A career criminal accused of murdering a family of four and abandoning their baby once warned jurors would 'regret' convicting him in a past court case. Austin Robert Drummond, 28, remains on the run after he was identified as the primary suspect in the chilling Tennessee quadruple homicide of Adrianna Williams, 20; Matthew Wilson, 21; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15, last month. Drummond was released from prison in September after serving 13 years for an armed robbery he committed at a Circle K gas station. And it has now emerged that District Attorney General Jody Pickens vehemently opposed his conditional early release in a previous hearing in June 2020, writing a letter to the Tennessee Board of Parole warning he was 'not capable of living among society.' 'This office strongly opposes his early release on parole,' she wrote, describing him as a 'dangerous felony offender' and member of the street and prison gang, Vice Lords. The Vice Lords gang is considered one of the largest, most notorious and violent prison gangs, founded inside a Chicago juvenile facility in 1958. Pickens noted that after he was convicted of the crime at a jury trial, he called his father and 'threatened the jurors and the victim in this case.' He allegedly told his father 'they are going to regret it' and 'I'll be out one day.' Drummond was not allowed out at that 2020 parole hearing, but at the time of the murders, he was out on bond on an attempted murder charge, relating to an incident inside prison following his release in September 2024. He allegedly had 25 disciplinary actions against him from within custody, including 'refusing orders, drug possession, defiance and being in possession of a deadly weapon.' Pickens said his continued behavior 'clearly demonstrates that Drummond has no desire for rehabilitation and is not capable of living among society.' Drummond is now accused of carrying out the brutal quadruple murders and dumping all four bodies in a dense, wooded area in Lake County. Hours before the bodies were discovered, a baby was dumped in a car seat on the front lawn of a home in a quiet, rural town in northwest Tennessee. The resident reported that a dark-colored minivan or white SUV had pulled into the yard, dropped off the child and sped away. It later emerged Adrianna and Matthew were the baby's parents, and Cortney was the maternal grandmother. Braydon was also Adrianna's younger brother. Authorities now believe that Drummond left the infant on the lawn just minutes before carrying out a coordinated killing of the family in a neighboring county. Drummond had been in a relationship with Rose's sister and Williams' aunt, Kaitlyn Speed, according to the District Attorney of Dyer and Lake County Danny Goodman. The Tennessee Department of Corrections confirmed Speed was a corrections officer at the Northwest Correctional Complex during Drummond's incarceration. Two suspects, Tanaka Brown and Giovonte Thomas, both 29, have been taken into custody and charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. It is unclear how they know Drummond or what role they played in his alleged crimes. He remains wanted on charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and unlawful firearm possession. The US Marshals Service is even offering up to $7,500 for any information leading to his arrest. He was last seen driving his white Audi A3 sedan with visible damage to the drivers' side and the Tennessee license plate RI 01896. Drummond also described as being around five-foot-10-inches, about 190 pounds with blue eyes, brown hair and a goatee - though authorities note he may have altered his appearance.

The unusual way America's greatest unsolved double axe murder keeps tiny riverside town thriving decades later
In August 1892, a Massachusetts socialite was accused of bludgeoning her father and step-mother to death. Lizzie Borden went on to be stunningly acquitted, but not before her high-profile trial bitterly divided her hometown of Fall River. And 133 years later, the murders remain a source of fascination in the quaint city but crucially, beyond. Each year thousands of visitors descend on Fall River in an attempt to understand what really happened on that fateful morning on August 4, 1892. But it is not just armchair detectives who stay in the quaint town, paranormal enthusiasts and even legal scholars are among the tourists welcomed each year. While many believe Lizzie got away with the heinous crime, she also has legions of fans who say she was wrongly accused. 'Fall River kind of did [her] wrong. But she's really important to us and really important to the fabric of our history,' Patti Rego, the Executive Director of Viva Fall River told Daily Mail. Rego is among Borden's supporters who insist she had nothing to do with the murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, whose deaths today remain the stuff of childhood nursery rhymes. Back then however, it was a much more gory scene. The couple were discovered in their beds hacked to death with a hatchet, sustaining 29 whacks between them. Shortly after the attack, their daughter Lizzie alerted household staff that she'd found her parents bloody and disfigured Curiously, it was mid-morning, yet no one had heard the couple yell for help and despite the unbridled violence of their death, Andrew and Abby appeared to have died in silence. Theories of a silent intruder or scorned business partner floated about, but accusations ultimately landed on Lizzie. After an intense trial, Lizzie was acquitted and the mystery remained unsolved, perhaps fortunately for Fall River which continues to trade in dark tourism associated with the case. 'We're always trying to give people a new reason to come,' Lance Zaal, the owner of The Historic Lizzie Borden House told Daily Mail. Zaal, the founder of US Ghost Adventures, bought the house in 2021 and has allocated a lot of time and money to making sure its as historically accurate as possible. Law students are a regular fixture in the town, owing to its unique place in US legal history. The town of Fall River, Massachusetts' tourism industry is built off of the mystery However, many tourists come drawn to the more mystic aspects, using their visit as a chance to ghost hunt for the Borden's spirits. 'Most people are skeptical and that's fine and understandable,' Zaal said. 'We don't tell people what to think.' However, he insists he has experienced paranormal happenings first hand. 'When I was there before buying the house, I heard footsteps and voices when no one else was there,' he said. He added that he also felt something touch his leg with no one around and felt the hair stand up on his neck, completely unexplained. The reactions have been so strong that some people are too terrified to talk about it. 'I have spoken to guests and we encourage them to share their experience. A lot of people don't like to talk about it,' Zaal said. 'It makes them reflect on their own mortality.' But on Trip Advisor, there are plenty of people gushing about the site's 'amazing paranormal activity'. One guest said: 'If you can stay in Andrew and Abby Suite. My wife's hair was brushed to the side and kept getting woken up by laughing female voices. 'My blanket kept sliding down off my shoulders and woke up with a strange scratch on my upper forehead and a pillow can't do that but paranormal can.' Another said that when staying in the couple's room, 'at times you can smell some sweet perfume in the air,' perhaps indicating the presence of some ghoulish friends. The Historic Lizzie Borden House also hosts tours to nearby Oak Grove Cemetery where Lizzie, her sister Emma, Andrew, and Abby Borden were all buried. But chilling cemeteries and haunted residences aren't Borden's only legacy. After being acquitted of murder when she was 32, she became quite the animal lover and devoted much of her time to supporting the Animal Rescue League of Fall River. She even purchased the barn where the organization's first animals received care. The ARL is still operational today after officially being incorporated on June 25, 1914. Lizzie frequently attended fundraising events for the organizations and even became known for hosting other parties and gatherings at her own home. According to the league's website, she developed a love for Boston Bull Terriers, so much so that per local legend, 'a year after her death in 1927, three of her deceased terriers were dug out of their graves in the Borden's back yard and reburied miles away in the Pine Ridge Pet Cemetery'. Shortly after her death, the ARL Board of Directors discovered that Lizzie had left them $30,000 to support their continued efforts. 'Subsequent "Annual Reports" reveal that these funds were so well invested that some income is still derived from their contributions to this day,' the website states. Despite her charitable endeavors, the murders are undoubtedly why she is best known, something that local businesses also lean into. Rego said breweries sell Lizzie-themed beers titled '40 Whacks' and restaurants don't shy away from playfully capitalizing on her story. But to many locals, like Rego, Lizzie's story is, 'so much less about the actual act, and more about class and gender and power.' 'I always looked at Lizzie as a feminist. Nobody thought that a woman could do that. She pushed back.' Dramatizations of her story have been turned into documentaries, movies, and TV shows. But the best place to get a slice of her story will always be in Fall River, Massachusetts. Beyond that the town has a rich food and culture scene and other historic offerings. 'Lizzie is definitely part of the narrative. Our goal is to use her legacy - or notoriety - as a jumping off point,' said Rego.
