A man (24) who was being questioned following the death of two people in an arson attack in Co Armagh has been released on police bail.

The man was taken in for questioning by the PSNI in Co Armagh on Saturday night. He was the latest suspect to be held over the incident.

A woman (28), arrested on Friday, has also been released. One man has appeared in court over the incident, accused of withholding information.

Police also want to speak to four men who remain seriously ill with burns in St James's Hospital, Dublin.

Thomas O'Hare (33) and Lisa McClatchey (21) died last week in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast after they were beaten, doused with petrol and set on fire by a gang of up to six people at their home in Tassagh, near Keady.
