‘Stand up, admit what you did and face the consequences’ — Parish priest urges those responsible for Waterford murders to come forward

A parish priest, Fr. Gerry Chestnutt, issued a public appeal for those responsible for the deaths of Philip and Kim English and their two sons in Waterford to surrender to authorities. The plea was delivered during a vigil held in the wake of the tragedy, as the local community processes the loss of the family members.

Irish police, known as An Garda Síochána, are currently conducting an ongoing murder investigation into the incident. While the investigation proceeds, two other children involved in the event remain in critical condition in the hospital.
