Three men arrested in connection with fatal Edenderry fire

Three men have been arrested in connection with the fatal fire which claimed the lives of two people in Edenderry, Co Offaly, in December.

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

The young boy’s grandmother also received hospital treatment for serious burn injuries.

A man was arrested in January on suspicion of murder, though he was released without charge.

As part of this investigation, gardaí arrested three men, two in their 20s and one in his 30s, on Tuesday.

The three men are currently detained at Garda stations in the midlands under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2007.

Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
