Episode Episode 89 - The Dunne Family
In April 2007 Ciara Dunne and her two children 4 year old Lean and 3 year old Shania were killed by husband and father Adrian Dunne. He then took his own life. Having prepared their wills and visited Funeral Directors in the weeks before the murders, it has been said that Adrian and Ciara planned the murders together before Adrian carried them out. An inquiry into the murders found that the family faced financial challenges as well as Adrian being a controlling force in the family and made recommendations for change.
This is the story of the Dunne Family.
