Firebomb family: Gardaí didn’t do enough for Helena

THE family of the 25-year-old woman and her five-year-old nephew who died when their house was firebombed at the weekend have accused gardaí of “not doing enough” to hunt down the man who sent their daughter threatening letters and abusive texts.

The family yesterday revealed how two weeks before last Sunday’s attack, a man entered Helena O’Dwyer’s house at St Michael’s Place in Mahon and verbally and physically abused her.

The single mother fled to her parents’ nearby house soon afterwards as she said she feared for her life in her own house.
