He was charged with four counts of murder in Fermanagh.
A MAN HAS appeared in court, charged with four counts of murder following a fatal fire in Co Fermanagh.
Detectives investigating the fire in Derrylin charged the 27-year-old man yesterday and he appeared before Enniskillen Magistrates’ Court today.
He was also charged with one count of arson with intent to endanger life.
The fire broke out at a house in the Molly Road area of Derrylin on Tuesday, 27 February. Police initially said at least three people had been killed. A fourth body, believed to be that of a young child, was found two days later.
Detective Inspector Peter McKenna last week described the fire as as “ferocious”, saying it had “left a very complex crime scene“.
