A young man has admitted murdering his three siblings in Dublin two years ago.

Andy Cash pleaded guilty this morning to the murders of his sisters Lisa and Chelsea and his brother Christy at the family home in Tallaght in the early hours of September 4th 2022.

Lisa was 18 at the time and  twins Chelsea and Christy were just eight-years-old. 

The court heard harrowing details of how they were killed, with Christy alone suffering over 100 stab wounds. 

Through a Victim Impact Statement, read out on behalf of the family, Lisa, Christy and Chelsea were described as the “most beautiful, kind and loving children in the world” and there were "not enough words to describe the pain" they had endured since their murders. 

“Our whole world is gone and there isn't anything that will change it,” the statement said. 

“We will live with this unbearable heartache and pain for the rest of our lives. 

“There is no amount of time a person can spend in a jail cell that will justify what has happened to our family; it was not just three lives that were taken from us that day but six lives. 

“Lisa, Christy and Chelsea deserved so much more from life, they deserved to grow old and live their lives however they would have chosen to and to have families of their own.”

Andy Cash, who is now 26-years-old, was handed separate life sentences for each of his siblings.
