The joint funeral Mass of four members of the same family in Waterford has heard that an act of total evil has left a family and community heartbroken.

Hundreds of mourners gathered at the Sacred Heart Church this afternoon to say a final goodbye to Philip and Kim English and their two young sons, 12-year-old Callum and nine-year-old Jayden.
