Post-mortems due on Navan mother and son

The 28-year-old woman and her young son are thought to have died during a housefire in Navan, Co Meath yesterday.

POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS are due to be carried out today on the remains of a mother, 28, and her six-year-old son who are thought to have died in a housefire in Navan yesterday.

The emergency services were called to the fire at a house in Canterbrook on the Trim Road at around 1pm yesterday.

The two bodies were discovered in an upstairs bedroom.

No one else was in the house at the time, and the gardaí are not treating the fire as suspicious at this time. An investigation into the cause of the blaze is underway.
