Separate burials for fire family | |
(41 minutes later) | |
The funeral for the seven victims of the Omagh fire will be take place on Saturday morning. | |
Arthur McElhill, Lorraine McGovern and their five children will be buried at separate locations. | |
The funeral arrangements for the family, who died in the fire at Lammy Crescent earlier this month, had been the subject of controversy. | |
Mr McElhill will be buried in Ederney, Fermanagh, while the others will be buried at Corlough in County Cavan. | |
The funeral Mass will be held at 1000 GMT at Sacred Heart Church, Omagh, County Tyrone. | |
It was reported that mediators were brought in when it emerged that Arthur McElhill was being treated as a suspect in the murder investigation. | |
The coroner would not release the bodies after completing post mortem examinations until the funeral arrangements had been confirmed. | |
A murder inquiry was launched by the police after investigators discovered petrol had been scattered inside the house and had been set alight. | |
No more details about the murder investigation have been released. |
