The bodies of two men have been discovered at a property in Letterkenny, County Donegal, Gardaí (Irish police) have said.

Gardaí have said that "investigations are ongoing" into the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

Irish broadcaster RTÉ is reporting the men were a father and son and may have died violently.

The father's remains were found inside the property, while the son's body was found in a car, RTÉ have said.

The area was sealed off as a crime scene and the state pathologist and the Garda Forensic and Technical Bureau have been called in, Gardaí have said.

Fine Gael councillor Jimmy Kavanagh said the community "was in complete and utter shock by the incident", describing it as an "absolute tragedy in the run up to Christmas".

Sinn Féin councillor Gerry McMonagle told BBC News NI that "his thoughts are with the families of the two people involved at this tragic time".
