A new picture has emerged of slain brothers Paddy and Willie Hennessy.
The pair were brutally murdered by their brother Johnny, 59, last Friday. It is thought the rampage was spurred after an argument over their timber business.
Paddy, 60, and 66-year-old Willie are pictured in what looks like a pub.
Meanwhile, the Garda watchdog is probing reports one of the men called local officers hours before the bloodbath to say help was not needed.
Detectives investigating the horrific double murder-suicide have pieced together the gruesome timeline of events that led to the deaths of the Hennessy brothers.
The Garda watchdog has opened a probe into possible contact, believed to be a phone call between local officers and one of the men claiming gardai were not needed hours before the bloodshed.
A source told the Irish Mirror: “Johnny and Paddy were in the yard when Johnny became enraged and snapped. It is believed he struck Paddy once with the axe, killing him on the spot.
“Detectives believe Johnny was in such shock he thought the only way out was to kill Willie and take his own life.”
