These were the heartbreaking scenes outside the home of Dublin mum Jean Eagers who was butchered to death with a samurai sword inside the house on Sunday.
The 57-year-old Ringsend native died after receiving fatal wounds from the horror incident in her home at Willow Wood Grove on Father's Day.
Over 200 people gathered in the rain outside her home just after 12pm today where the fatal murder took place to say goodbye to the mother-of-two as her funeral cortege passed.
Her son Dillon, 23, is understood to have tried to help his dying mam following the grizzly attack at Willow Wood at around 11.30am.
Gardai seized a number of weapons, including a samurai sword and a meat cleaver, which are believed to have been used in the fatal attack which is now a murder investigation.
Jean is described as being an adored mother to her son and 30-year-old daughter Michelle.
A 60-year-old man known to the victim was arrested over the attack following a stand-off with gardai.
