Post mortems due on bodies of Omagh fire victims

Post mortem examinations are due to be carried out today on the bodies of the seven people who died in Tuesday morning's house fire in Omagh.

Last night, hundreds of people attended a prayer vigil for Arthur McElhill, his partner Lorraine McGovern and their five children.

All seven died when their house in Lammy Crescecnt was doused in petrol and set alight in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

One theory being investigated by the PSNI is that Mr McElhill may have started the blaze.

The school where two of the children were pupils is re-opening today, with specialist counsellors on hand.
