The son-in-law of a retired couple who were killed by a man with severe mental health issues said hearing evidence about their deaths was "brutal and shocking".

On Wednesday a coroner found Marjorie and Michael Cawdery's deaths were "entirely preventable". The couple, both 83, were stabbed to death at their home in Portadown, Co Armagh, on May 26, 2017.

Paranoid schizophrenic Thomas Scott McEntee, who is now aged in his mid-40s, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was given a life sentence in June the following year.

Mr and Mrs Cawdery's son-in-law Charles Little discovered their bodies inside their home. Speaking outside Banbridge courthouse after an inquest into the killings concluded, he said their deaths should never have happened.
