Overview
- Four-year-old Tadhg Farrell and his grand-aunt Mary Holt, 60, died after a suspected petrol bomb was thrown through a front-room window of a home in Castleview Park on Saturday evening.
- The newly released CCTV appears to show two hooded individuals smashing a window, igniting an object and hurling it into the property, with Gardaí issuing a fresh appeal for information.
- The investigation is led by the Serious Crime Unit with support from national Garda units, with more than 150 investigative tasks, 250 house-to-house inquiries, over 60 pieces of CCTV, and 100 written statements gathered.
- Post-mortem examinations have been completed with results withheld for operational reasons, as investigators examine a drugs-related intimidation line of inquiry that includes a reported prison-assault thread.
- Hundreds attended a candlelit vigil at Derry Rovers AFC on Wednesday night, Tadhg’s funeral is scheduled for Friday at 12pm in St Mary’s Church, Edenderry, and his grandmother remains in hospital with serious burn injuries.
