What tragic events led to the discovery of the boys' bodies?
In 2008, innocent Robert Delaney was shot in the head on the orders of a dissident Republican. Why? Because he broke up a pub fight. Today, brain damaged. He's neither living nor dead. In a new three-part podcast by the Irish Sun, we examine the brutal crime, an insidious underworld, and a family's fearless quest for justice. And we meet Robert Delaney. This Is Robert is available wherever you get your podcasts. And I was like, where are you? Are you okay?
How did the community react to the murders of Eoghan and Ruairi?
The first thing he said was, no, there's been a crash. And I was, are the boys okay? And his words to me were, no, they're dead in the back.
The murders of two young boys by their father in July 2013, hundreds of miles from home, make as little sense today as they did then. Owen Chadda, 10 years old, a boy who dreamed of being a farmer or a chef. His little brother Rory, just five, maybe the next Rory McIlroy. Murdered, dumped in the boot of their father's car, their bodies facing each other. Yet Sanjeev Chadha was not your standard monster. A loving dad, a dependable husband, a man his community adored until he wasn't.
I remember going to the ground.
What insights does Kathleen Chada share about her husband's betrayal?
I remember being surrounded by people, feeling like I was in a black hole. And I was, in that moment, I was never going to come out of it.
For Owen and Rory's mum, Kathleen, the murders not only finished off her life as she knew it, but opened up more secrets kept by the man she thought she loved. She has spent 13 years haunted by Sandy's betrayal, while dreaming about the people her lads would have become.
I try to think about them and what would they be like now? What would they want now? What would I be like? I don't know what they would be like, but I have to assume that they would be just older versions of the boys that they were. And the boys that they were, were incredible.
Now for the very first time in the new podcast, Forever My Boys, the full, brutal, relentless extent of Sanjeev Chadha's crimes are revealed.
How does the podcast reveal the extent of Sanjeev Chada's crimes?
The details the double killer serving two life sentences would prefer to keep hidden as he makes a bid for freedom.
Kathleen herself, she's had to wait a long time to get a lot of this out. She couldn't talk up to now. I possibly would never have spoken if she hadn't come to me.
From the producers of Nobody Heard Them Cry, Forever My Boys is a new three-part podcast from the Irish Sons Deep Dive team, with a fourth special bonus edition on the Irish families fighting for better justice. I'm Nicola Barden. It's the full astonishing story of the lives and deaths of two brothers and their mother who will never give up on them.
I don't believe myself to this day that the same damage has been done by a parent in a murder.
The first two episodes of Forever My Boys are available to download on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts on Wednesday July 8th. The third episode will drop on July 15th and the bonus on July 22nd.
