## Summary

Jamie McGinn, 38, and Biddy O’Brien, 40, were found dead at their home in Bray, County Dublin. Gardaí are investigating how they died; the deaths matter especially to their family and community, given the couple’s past loss of two children in a house fire.

McGinn was found in the front garden with wounds that appeared consistent with a knife attack, while O’Brien was found upstairs with no obvious injuries. Post-mortem and toxicology examinations are expected to help establish what happened, and investigators have not ruled out foul play in McGinn’s death. The couple’s children, Holly, three, and Jordan, four, died in a 2017 fire in Clondalkin that also killed O’Brien’s cousin and her young daughter.
