The parents of Mari Keane-Connolly yesterday said they will never forgive John Lynch for killing their little daughter.

A 33-YEAR-OLD man charged with arson at a house where a five-year- old girl died earlier this month said he was “deeply sorry”, a court heard yesterday.

THE tiny white coffin was decorated with Dora the Explorer stickers, but everyone attending five-year-old Mari Connolly’s funeral yesterday would have known her favourite colour was pink.

A man in his 30s has been arrested today in connection with a suspected arson attack which killed a five-year-old girl.

TERESA KEANE, the mother of five-year-old Marie Keane-Connolly, was unable to hold back the tears when she knelt and placed flowers at the scene where her daughter had died in a fire just hours before.
