A hero sister babysitting her younger siblings died trying to save them in the Dublin machete attack. Lisa Cash, 18, and her eight-year-old twin siblings Christy and Chelsea Cawley were killed at their home in the early hours of Sunday (September 4), Birmingham Live reports.
The victims' 14-year-old brother was taken to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, with their mum also injured in the attack but discharged from hospital later the same day.
Brother Andy Cash, 24, has been since been charged with the murder of his siblings and was brought before Dublin's Central Criminal Court at a special late night hearing yesterday (September 6).
St Aidan's Community School headteacher Kevin Shortall said: "She was a quiet, beautiful young girl, very diligent, hard-working. Got on with her work.
“Was a great support to her friends in times of trouble, I heard that from a number of people yesterday. She is remembered as one of the most honest, genuine young people, full of integrity and no fuss, no drama around her.
“Got about her business and was hugely, highly regarded and very warmly remembered by so many staff members here in the school. I couldn't get over the things that people were saying about her. Just a lovely, lovely person, hugely highly regarded and will be terribly, badly missed.
“And a lovely big sister to her brothers and sisters as well. I believe she was babysitting at the time, and that would have been something that she was just so good at.
“She was the kind of person you could trust. That's the person Lisa was." He continued: "We are all just meeting each other and shaking our heads and giving each other hugs and things like that. It's a very difficult morning."
