Gardaí arrest two men over double murder in NI six years ago

The men are due before the High Court in connection with the death of Thomas O’Hare and Lisa McClatchey in Co Armagh.

GARDAÍ ARRESTED TWO men this morning in connection with the murder of two people who were burned to death in Armagh six years ago.

The men, wanted by Police in Northern Ireland, were arrested under Euro arrest warrant and are due to appear before the High Court this morning.

The couple, 33-year-old Thomas O’Hare and Lisa McClatchey, 21, were in their home on Foley Road, near Keady, Co Armagh on 6 November 2006, when up to six men entered, and set Thomas, Lisa and the house on fire.

They died as a result of their injuries.

After the attack four men were treated in St James’s Hospital, Dublin for their burns, out of the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland.

The case is still open and the PSNI are investigating.
