The man found dead following a fire in Offaly overnight was the brother of a woman who died alongside her grandnephew in an arson attack at the same house last December.

The man, named locally as Christy Holt, was found dead at a house in Castleview Park, Edenderry, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
