Blaze inquest adjourned due to Garda probe

INQUESTS into the deaths of a 25-year-old woman and her five-year-old nephew in a suspicious house fire in April were opened and adjourned at Cork Coroner’s Court due to an ongoing Garda investigation.

Helena O’Dwyer and Ryan O’Dwyer-Hayes were staying in Helena’s parents’ home in Mahon, when a blaze started just after 3am on Easter Sunday.

Helena and Ryan were among six people staying at the house on Nutley Avenue when the fire took hold.
