‘Broken hearts and many tears': Poignant service for mum and children killed in Fermanagh shooting
Vanessa Whyte (45), her son James Rutledge (14) and daughter Sara Rutledge (13) were shot in their home on Drummeer Road, Maguiresbridge, last Wednesday. The man suspected of killing them before turning the gun on himself, 43-year-old Ian Rutledge, died in hospital on Monday. Prayers will be said at St Mary's Church this morning before the remains of the mum and her teenage children are taken to Co Clare where a funeral Mass will be held on Saturday. First Minister Michelle O'Neill is among those attending the service for removal which began at 11am with the singing of hymns including Abide With Me and a reading from the Old Testament book of Lamentations. The homily will be delivered by Father Kevin Donnelly who acknowledged the church is 'filled with grief'. A death notice stated 'it is with broken hearts and many tears' that the family announce the tragic passing 'of our beloved Vanessa and her adored children'. 'Cherished and much-loved Vanessa, James and Sara will forever be in the hearts of their heartbroken family, remembered fondly by a devoted mother and loving grandmother Mary Whyte, sisters and brothers (aunts & uncles) Geraldine, Anita, Steve, Regina & Ivor and by their respective partners Michael, Bernie, Ciara and Anita's husband James," it adds. 'Sadly missed by all their heartbroken cousins Deirbhíle, Erin, James, Danielle, Aishling, Jack and Harry Joe. "They will be greatly missed by the extended Whyte family, friends, work colleagues and the wider GAA communities in both Fermanagh and Clare.' Vanessa is pre-deceased by her father and the children's grandfather Joe Whyte and her infant sister. Following the shootings, police said a suspected triple murder and attempted suicide was one line of inquiry detectives were pursuing. The Belfast Telegraph understands a legally held weapon was used in the shooting. The police investigation is ongoing, despite the death of the only suspect. Ms Whyte (45) and her daughter Sara Rutledge (13) died from gunshot wounds at their home on Drummeer Road, Maguiresbridge, last Wednesday, while 14-year-old James died from his injuries in hospital the following day. The only suspect in the case, Ian Rutledge, died from his injuries in hospital on Monday. This newspaper also understands the 999 emergency call was made from the home on July 23 at around 8am from Sara's phone before first responders arrived at the scene which police described as 'harrowing'. Rutledge was airlifted to the Royal Victoria Hospital and was kept on life support until Monday. It's understood that one line of inquiry is that Rutledge left the home in Fermanagh he shared with Ms Whyte and their children the night before the shootings to retrieve a legally held weapon from a different location, with police keen to trace the movements of his silver Mercedes saloon car. Maguiresbridge vigil takes place as book of condolence opens at young shooting victims' former school PSNI Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness has asked anyone who saw the vehicle being driven in the Clones Road area of Newtownbutler, or between Maguiresbridge and Newtownbutler, on the evening of Tuesday, July 22, to call detectives on 101. 'Anyone who was travelling in the area and who may have captured dash-cam footage which could assist, please get in touch,' he added. Vanessa, James and Sara will repose together in The Church of The Immaculate Conception in Barefield from 3pm to 7pm on Friday. Private removal will take place on Saturday morning with the funeral cortege arriving for Requiem Mass at 12pm before the family is laid to rest in Templemaley Cemetery. Mourners have been asked to wear bright and cheerful colours in celebration of their lives. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to Women's Aid.

Watch ‘The Fantastic Four' Make Pizza (Without Superpowers)
Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn stopped by The New York Times Kitchen Studio for a chat. From left, Pedro Pascal, Eben Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn and Vanessa Kirby of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' Taylor Miller for The New York Times Published July 29, 2025 Updated July 29, 2025 Welcome to the Pizza Interview, a new series from New York Times Cooking where the Q&A has a catch: Our guests have to make pizza. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn are superheroes charged with saving a retro-futuristic Earth from the space god Galactus in 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' Beyond the action, the story explores the deep bonds and challenges faced by Marvel's first family, and kicks off a new chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Watch the full video below (or on YouTube) and read ahead for excerpts and some outtakes, which have been edited and condensed. Vanessa Kirby: Yes. Once or twice. Pedro Pascal: I've observed. Joseph Quinn: I've observed. Ebon Moss-Bachrach: I've made a pizza or two. Pascal: That's why he's my teammate. Moss-Bachrach: Yeah, I love to cook. Pascal: I like it, but I don't know how. Kirby: Today's going to change it all, babe. Moss-Bachrach: You're going to be great. Moss-Bachrach: My favorite pizza? A toss up between F&F in Carroll Gardens and Lucali. Pascal: There was a place I was addicted to in Bogotá, Colombia, called Julia's. And it was — I'm telling you — one of the best pizzas in the world. Quinn: A place called Spizza in London Bridge, which is delicious. Kirby: Yeah. London as well for me. I like Well Street Pizza. Do you know Well Street? Quinn: I've never been there. What's the one in Chiswick? There's a famous one in Chiswick. Kirby: I don't know Chiswick. Let's try it. Quinn: Let's go. We'll go. We'll be home soon. Pascal: Gjelina has a good pizza, too, in Abbot Kinney. Pascal: I like to keep it simple. I like a spicy sausage. A fellow castmate of ours put a little honey on the pizza, and that worked out really good. Quinn: Good-quality mozzarella, black olive, a little bit of red onion, basil maybe. Nothing more than that. Simple. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa? Broccoli? Cauliflower crust? Kirby: Cauliflower crust doesn't work for me. Mine is rocket, maybe Parmesan, mushrooms, maybe some peppers or sun-dried tomatoes. Moss-Bachrach: I made a chili one day that I brought that Pedro really liked. I thought I put too much salt in it, but for him, that was perfect. I made a borscht that I gave to Joe when he was feeling a little run down. Pascal: I gotta tell you, he's a little light on the salt. Pascal: Vanessa would be steamed broccoli. Quinn: Vanessa's far more glamorous than steamed broccoli. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa would be like a Pavlova. Kirby: [Joe's] something Mexican. Something with a real punch. Pascal: If I've ever met Mexican food in my life, I gotta say it's Mr. Joseph Quinn. Quinn: Bangers and mash with a bit of mustard. Kirby: There we go! Mustard, that's what I was looking for. Moss-Bachrach: Vanessa is most likely to spill something. Pascal: She's most likely to spill matcha. Quinn: I think we're all pretty good with secrets. Kirby: I think we've been trained well. Pascal: I've gotten away with quite a bit so far. Pascal: I had a birthday recently, a big birthday bash, and everybody was invited. Quinn: And what did you serve? Kirby: Martinis. Pascal: I served a good time. I served some house. Beats. Some snacks. Kirby: Good lighting. Pascal: Food and drinks and some dancing. Lots and lots of dancing. Follow New York Times Cooking on Instagram , Facebook , YouTube , TikTok and Pinterest .

Vanessa Kirby admits to being a Sue Storm 'nerd'
Vanessa Kirby is a Sue Storm "nerd". The 37-year-old actress plays Sue in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and she's admitted to being obsessed with the character. Vanessa - who stars in the new Marvel movie alongside Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn - told Variety: "I'm such a Sue nerd. "There was something so allegorical about her. She was called Invisible Girl. Then Psycho-Man comes and disrupts everything, and she has a meeting with her own dark side in Malice. She comes back, and she renames herself Invisible Woman. So she transforms from a girl to a woman. "There's something about meeting the hardest parts of yourself in Malice that felt extremely poignant to me. I'm really hopeful I might be allowed to be Malice at some point for her." Vanessa is particularly keen to explore Sue's Malice incarnation. The actress shared: "I'm dying to do Malice. "She's come from a really tough background. She lost her mother in a car crash. Her dad tried to save her mother. He couldn't. He then spiralled, became an alcoholic, got locked up in prison for murdering a loan shark, and then died. Sue had to become a mother to Johnny. They were orphans. They had to fight for themselves. "What I loved about her was that she chose a path that was inherently a positive one. She chose to keep her heart open and to stay warm. The Future Foundation, for me, wasn't a noble political act, but it seemed to me that it's Sue's nature." Vanessa previously admitted that she likes to take on "challenging" roles. The movie star told TheTalks: "I really like pushing past my limits in that way — I love it. "When I read something and go, 'Uh, I don't know how I am going to do this,' then I know I should do it. I don't think it feels as challenging when you read a script and go, 'I know exactly how I am going to do this.'" Vanessa has enjoyed success on stage and screen, and she previously explained where her passion for stage acting came from. The London-born actress shared: "I always knew I wanted to act, but I had no idea how I was to go about it. "It was quite daunting feeling to know how passionate you feel about something without knowing whether you can achieve it … But my parents love theatre and my dad loves Shakespeare, so I grew up with a lot of Shakespeare stories and plays. And the love for theatre helped me in realising the power of standing up in front of people and telling stories as a group. "The audience is as important as the people on stage, so it always felt like a shared experience. With that experience I felt most connected and most alive."

Suspect in Fermanagh triple-murder dies in hospital, as family are laid to rest
A MOTHER and her two children who were shot dead at their home in County Fermanagh last week have been laid to rest in their hometown of Barefield, County Clare. The deaths of Vanessa Whyte, 45, and her children, James Rutledge, 14, and Sara Rutledge, 13, have left two communities in deep mourning as the investigation into the suspected triple murder-suicide continues. The family was killed last Wednesday morning at a property on Drummeer Road in Maguiresbridge. Ian Rutledge, 43, an agricultural worker and the only suspect in the case, was found at the scene with a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and died on Monday evening. Police believe Rutledge, who was a member of the same household, fatally shot Vanessa and her children before turning the gun on himself. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has confirmed Rutledge was the sole suspect in the attack and is not seeking anyone else in connection with the killings. Investigators have renewed their appeal for information, particularly about the movements of a silver Mercedes saloon car seen between Maguiresbridge and Newtownbutler on the evening of Tuesday, 22 July. Anyone with information is urged to contact police. A funeral mass for the family was held in Barefield on Saturday, following a service of removal in Maguiresbridge and repose at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in County Clare. Mourners were asked to wear bright colours in tribute to the lives lost. Vanessa was described as a devoted mother and a beloved daughter and sister. James and Sara were remembered as dearly loved siblings and grandchildren. Tributes have poured in from both counties. A local Gaelic football club said Vanessa and her children were active and much-loved members of the community. A cricket club the children had been involved with described them as 'talented young cricketers and absolutely lovely-natured children.' In the days following the tragedy, flowers, messages, teddy bears, and a signed Arsenal football shirt were left near the family's home. As the community mourns, donations in memory of Vanessa, James, and Sara are being directed to Women's Aid. The PSNI continues to appeal for witnesses or anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area on the evening before the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing. See More: Co.

Charity turns to Vanessa as another devastating ordeal is confirmed in Emmerdale
Yes we see you, Vanity fans (Picture: ITV) Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) is the person Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) turns to in Emmerdale soon, as she faces a scary ordeal in the middle of her surrogacy journey. Shortly after Charity decided to try and become Sarah Sugden's (Katie Hill) surrogate, she decided not to tell Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb). Of course, it wasn't long until he found out, and wasted no time in telling Charity that he thought it was a bad idea. With really no one else to talk to, Charity chatted to Vanessa about it. Despite them being exes, Charity and Vanessa are really good friends. Vanessa was able to listen to Charity, while thinking of Mack's feelings too. Mackenzie then told Charity that he's decided to support her on the journey, which left her relieved. When he arrived at Butlers though, it became apparent that Mack had just changed his view because he believes the process wouldn't be successful anyways. Mack didn't think the surrogacy was a good idea (Picture: ITV) Charity's jumped over quite a few hurdles so far – but is disaster set to strike already? In upcoming episodes, the couple go for a walk, but Charity takes a tumble and falls to the ground. At Jacob's (Joe-Warren Plant), Charity convinces herself that everything will be fine, and fails to tell Sarah about the fall.
