Hawe Family Murders: The Tragedy of Clodagh Hawe and Her Sons

By Lucy Loophole

In the quiet town of Ballyjamesduff, a shocking crime shattered a community and sparked a nationwide movement. On August 29, 2016, Clodagh Hawe and her three sons-Liam, Niall, and Ryan-were brutally murdered by Alan Hawe, who then took his own life. What followed was a devastating journey for Clodagh's mother, Mary Coll, and sister, Jacqueline Connolly, as they fought to uncover the truth behind the tragedy.

Hawe Family Murders delves into the heart-wrenching details of the murders, the flawed investigation that followed, and the family's relentless pursuit of justice. Through their advocacy, Mary and Jacqueline exposed systemic failures in Ireland's handling of familicide and domestic violence, leading to significant legal and social reforms. Their tireless efforts transformed personal grief into a powerful call for change, raising awareness of "silent" domestic violence-abuse hidden behind closed doors with no visible signs.

This powerful narrative not only honors the memory of Clodagh and her sons but also serves as a call to action. It highlights the importance of recognizing the hidden dangers in our homes and the need for vigilance in our communities. The book culminates in the creation of a memorial garden, a symbol of healing and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Hawe family.

A story of loss, resilience, and transformation, Hawe Family Murders is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of familicide and the power of advocacy in the face of tragedy.
