The husband of murdered Jean Eagers could be in hospital for days receiving treatment for what are understood to be self-inflicted injuries. It is believed it could be later this week before William Eagers is fit to face questioning by detectives. He was arrested at the family home on the Willow Wood Grove estate in Clonsilla shortly after 11.30am on Sunday and taken to Connolly Hospital later that day for treatment, with sources saying some of his injuries were self-inflicted. Mother-of-two Mrs Eagers died from her injuries, which are believed to have included multiple stab wounds to the chest. The couple had lived in Willow Wood Grove for around 20 years.
