Man due in court in connection with Mallow fire

The incident happened almost two years ago.

A 29-year-old woman is due to appear in court in Cork today in connection with the deaths of two men in a house fire in Mallow almost two years ago.

John Palmer and Greg Lonergan - both in their 30s - died in the fire at their rented apartment at the Granary Court complex on St Joseph Road's in the early hours of March 13th 2014.

Gardaí initially thought the fire may have started accidentally but suspicions were raised when a forensic examination was carried out on the badly damaged flat.

A 29 year old woman will appear at Mallow District Court later to face two charges of manslaughter and one of arson in relation to the fire.
