SHOCK and sadness has consumed Mitchelstown following the deaths of three brothers on the outskirts of the North Cork town in a suspected murder-suicide.
The three Hennessy brothers, Johnny, 59, Paddy, 60, and Willie, 66 were described by locals yesterday as "quiet men".
Johnny and Willie were both single and lived on the family farm. Paddy was a separated father-of-two who was living nearby.
