THE parents of the young man who killed Sebastian Creane before taking his own life have revealed he attempted suicide a few weeks before he was embroiled in the tragic murder- suicide.
Shane Clancy’s mother, Leonie Fennell, told RTE’s Late Late Show how she took her son to the doctor where he got a month’s supply of antidepressants – but he took them all in one go.
She criticised the fact that after the suicide attempt he had been given another month's supply and his parents had not been made aware of the sideeffects.
Leonie, along with Shane’s stepfather Tony Donnelly, also told how her 22-year-old Trinity College student son had curled up into a ball and stabbed himself 19 times after he stabbed Sebastian in the early hours of August 16.
He had also inflicted multiple stab wounds on Sebastian’s brother, Dylan (27), and stabbed his former girlfriend, Jennifer Hannigan (22).
BREAK-UP
The violent rampage unfolded at the Creane family home at Cuala Grove in Bray last month. Sebastian had recently begun a relationship with Jennifer, with whom Clancy had broken up with three months earlier.
“He just couldn’t get over the break-up with his girlfriend,” said Leonie. “He ended the relationship and just obviously regretted the decision,” echoed his stepfather Tony.
Describing her son as an extremely caring boy with a big heart, Ms Fennell insisted there was never any malice in him. “He said one day, out of the blue, ‘I can't get over it’.
“He got worse and worse. He would be standing beside me and the tears would be running down his face,” said Leonie. Tony Donnelly told host Ryan Tubridy that Shane lost two stone and became a shadow of his former self.
“He was sad constantly, all of the time.
“His motivation was failing and he found it difficult to be his normal self.
“He was heartbroken.”
