Appearances
But when a child dies, it usually doesn't take so much work to do his appearance justice, as he's presented to the world one last time.
The Kilkenny senior hurling team came up to the house too.
Up and down the stairs, a squad of lads who meant everything to the boys.
The boys spent Thursday night in their bed at home.
That same day, hundreds of miles away, at Swinford District Court, their father was charged with their murders.
Charged earlier at Westport Garda Station, Sanjeev Chadha said, I'm so sorry.
Asked why he did it, he replied, Because I love them so much.

But there was no more time to wait.
