Gardai are investigating after two people were killed in a stabbing in Co. Clare.
A 27 year old woman and a 44 year man died in Kill-die-sart after being found with serious injuries.
The woman was found collapsed on the street by emergency services last night.
The man was then found seriously injured inside the house - both were declared dead at the scene.
The couple's two children - aged 3 and 5 - are being looked after by neighbours - and the HSE has been contacted.
