Episode 30 - The Hawe Family

Send us a textIn August 2016 Clodagh Hawe and her sons Liam, Niall and Ryan were murdered by the one person who should have protected them the most – husband and father Alan Hawe. The case has been hugely criticised for the way the media excused what Hawe did and ignored Clodagh and her sons and gave way to the #HerNameWasClodagh trending on social media in an effort to refocus attention on what was important here – the murder of a wife and three children. This is the story of Clodagh Hawe and her sons Liam, Niall and Ryan. Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·       Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA ·       Women’s Aid www.womensaid.org.uk  ·       Mental health support USA I'm looking for mental health help for myself | Mental Health America (mhanational.org) ·       Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org)  References He Had His Reasons | Colin Barrett | Granta MagazineFull transcript of Clodagh Hawe family's harrowing interview with RTÉ's Claire Byrne | Irish Independent'He was quiet and a real gentleman' - Small community left reeling from Cavan tragedy | Irish IndependentIrish man who killed wife and three sons left two notes at scene of murder-suicide | IrishCentral.comHawe family murders - WikipediaHawe family murder inquest: Alan Hawe stabbed sons through the windpipe so they could not scream - Irish Mirror OnlineHawe confession letter reveals he "enjoyed" murdering family | IrishCentral.comRest in peace, invisible woman - LINNEA DUNNEReporting of man who killed his family too sympathetic, say women's groups | Ireland | The Guardian Domestic homicide study recommends new agency, database (rte.ie)Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com)Music by Tom Box and from Pixabay. Support the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.
