A jury at Dublin’s Central Criminal Court found Robert O’Connor guilty of manslaughter by diminished responsibility for killing his parents, Mark and Louise, and younger brother Evan in Drumgowna, County Louth, on 28–29 September 2025. Jurors accepted psychiatric evidence that O’Connor was experiencing a relapse of schizophrenia, but rejected a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.
