Crowds have turned out for the funeral of a murdered mother and her children in Northern Ireland.
Veterinary surgeon Vanessa Whyte, 45, and her children James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, died in a shooting at their home in Maguiresbridge, Co Fermanagh, in July.
He had himself suffered a gunshot wound during the attack on 23 July.
Rutledge was taken to hospital, where he remained in a serious condition until the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) announced he had died.
It is understood he was the only suspect in the murder investigation.
Police in Northern Ireland have said a triple murder and attempted suicide was a line of inquiry.
