Man arrested on suspicion of murder over Edenderry fire

A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder following a fatal house fire in Co Offaly in which a woman and child died in December.

Four-year-old Tadhg Farrell and his great-aunt Mary Holt died in a house fire in Castleview Park, Edenderry, on December 6.

A spokesperson said: “Investigations are ongoing.”

The child had been visiting his grandmother and great-aunt when the home was attacked shortly before 7.45pm.

Investigators previously released CCTV footage of the attack that appears to show two hooded individuals smashing a window before setting an object on fire and throwing it into the property.
