A man suspected of killing his wife and two children in Co Fermanagh last week has died in hospital.
Police said Ian Rutledge, 43, died in hospital yesterday evening following the shooting at a house on Drummeer Road, in which a woman and two children were killed.
They were named as 45-year-old Vanessa Whyte, a vet originally from Barefield, Co Clare, and her children, 14-year-old James Rutledge and Sara Rutledge, who was 13.
Mr Rutledge had been in hospital in a serious condition following the shooting.
Last Wednesday, police received a 999 call shortly before 8am from someone inside the house on Drummeer Road in Maguiresbridge.
Officers were despatched immediately from Enniskillen station around 13km away.
When they arrived at the property, they found four people inside with gunshot wounds.
Two of the victims, Ms Whyte and one of the children, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The second child died later in hospital.
