Gardaí ‘keeping all avenues open’ in probe

A GARDA technical team will continue to carry out a forensic examination of the firebombed house in Cork which claimed two lives of a young woman and her five-year-old nephew.

It is expected that preliminary investigations could take up to two days. A car found burned out nearby is also being forensically examined. Gardaí have said they “are keeping an open mind” as to whether it is linked to the attack.

Door-to-door inquiries began yesterday afternoon and gardaí are believed to be examining CCTV footage from nearby businesses.
