Tragic Tallaght children were 'thrown out top window' after being stabbed to death

Tragic twins Chelsea and Christy Cawley were callously thrown out the top window of their home after being stabbed, it has emerged.

The eight-year-old twins Chelsea and Christy and sister Lisa Cash, 18, were allegedly stabbed to death by a 24-year-old man believed to be known to them at their home in Rossfield Avenue in Jobstown, Tallaght, Dublin, early yesterday. The suspected perpetrator of the horrific triple killing is alleged to have stabbed all three victims and thrown the twins out of the top window of the house during a heated confrontation with armed gardai who tried to reason with him from outside the driveway of the home.

That shocking incident was witnessed by a crowd that had gathered outside as gardai arrived – having been alerted by their brave 14-year-old brother who escaped by jumping from a window and running for help. Meanwhile, the twins’ sister Lisa was discovered lying at the bottom of the stairs with apparent stab wounds – and gardai fear she was also thrown or pushed down them by the killer.
