Hawe's sister urges better Garda training for murder-suicides

breakingnews.ie

Clodagh Hawe's sister is calling for improved Garda training in murder-suicide investigations and the publication of a review into the initial investigation of the Hawe family deaths. Jacqueline Connolly, whose sister Clodagh was murdered by her husband Alan Hawe in 2016, wants the Garda Commissioner to release the review's findings, citing missed evidence and inadequate investigation techniques. The review, authorized in 2019, highlighted overlooked CCTV, digital evidence, and un-interviewed witnesses. Connolly believes the review's findings, which she has seen a summary of, could help others recognize the behaviors of "family annihilators." She also revealed that the review included an expert analysis of Alan Hawe's suicide note and his pornography addiction.
