Does Ireland do enough to stop violent killers from wiping out their own families?

August 28 marks ten years since Clodagh Hawe and her three sons Liam, Niall, and six-year-old Ryan, were brutally murdered by Alan Hawe at their home near Virginia in Co Cavan.

Three years earlier, on July 29, Sanjeev Chada strangled his two sons, Eoghan and Rory, before stuffing their bodies into the boot of his car.

He later crashed near Westport in Co Mayo, where he was arrested by gardaí.

He's currently serving two life sentences in prison, where he has made yet another bid for parole.

Crime World's Caoimhe Young spoke to Eoghan and Rory's mother, Kathleen Chada, about the ongoing trauma of the parole process.

She also interviewed the CEO of Women's Aid about what, if anything, these horrific cases of family annihilation have taught us about the men who kill their children.

Today, she speaks to Jenny Friel about how the public and media are now far more aware that the victims of such heinous crimes must always be front and centre, and that the men who made the decision to take their lives were never as important as they believe themselves to be.
