The sister of Clare art student Emer O’Loughlin has written to An Garda Síochána requesting a comprehensive review of her death following an inquest verdict of unlawful killing in the notorious case.
On April 8, 2005, a fire completely destroyed a mobile home in Tubber, Co Clare, in which the 23-year-old was living with her boyfriend. Human remains discovered inside were identified as being Ms O’Loughlin’s.
