Siblings yet to plead over murder of pensioner

A brother and sister made no reply when they were charged with the murder of 63-year-old Thomas Horan, who was found dead in his sheltered accommodation in Dublin on Monday.

The body of Mr Horan, who was believed to have originally come from Mullingar, Co Westmeath, was found at Cambridge Court, a housing complex in Irishtown, where he had been living for four years.

He was found in the bedroom of his ground-floor apartment at about 4am on Monday.
