The PSNI has urged the public not to share misinformation regarding the shooting incident in Co Fermanagh where a mother and her two children were killed. Vanessa Whyte, aged 45, a veterinary surgeon from Co Clare, along with her children James, 14, and Sara, 13, were killed in the incident at their house in Maguiresbridge.

Misinformation and unverified images have been circulating on social media after the tragedy. The PSNI has asked the public to refrain from sharing such content to avoid impacting the criminal justice process. Speculation has been discouraged by local MP Pat Cullen, emphasizing the need to respect the families and allow the police to conduct their investigation. The PSNI is seeking information from anyone who had contact with the victims recently, highlighting the importance of even small details in the investigation.
