Arsonists attack rapist's home | Arsonists attack rapist's home |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A house in County Tyrone, believed to be the home of the convicted rapist Eamon Foley, has been severely damaged in a malicious fire. | |
The blaze at the house in Castlederg was discovered at 2200 GMT on Tuesday. No-one was in the house at the time. | |
Mr Foley served eight years of a 16-year sentence for the attack in 1999 on 91-year-old Mary Ann McLaughlin. She died several weeks later. | |
The attack has been condemned by Sinn Féin West Tyrone MP Pat Doherty. | |
"If, as suspected, this fire last was caused by arson then it solves absolutely nothing," he said. | |
"People with concerns about his presence in the area should bring them to the sex offenders' strategic management committee instead of engaging in this type of action." |
