The post mortem examinations on the bodies of two of 3 men found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in Co. Cork yesterday have been completed.

The bodies of Tadhg, Mark and Diarmuid O'Sullivan were found at the family farm near Kanturk after Tadhg's wife, raised the alarm.

It’s believed 26-year-old Mark had been murdered in the house and gardai are trying to figure out what happened after that.

When gardai finally gained entry to the farm, they found the body of Mark’s younger brother 23-year-old Diarmuid and their father Tadhg about half kilometre away in a field.

They had also died from gunshot wounds.

Three legally held firearms have been recovered from the scene and are being examined along with the house and land.

Gardai are investigating if a dispute over land led to the tragedy.
