Horrible news from this morning.
The PSNI have arrested a 27-year-old man on suspicion of murder following a fatal house fire in Fermanagh on Tuesday morning.
Police and the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service were called to an address in the Molly Road area of Derrylin at around 7.20am.
At least three people have died in the fire with an examination of the scene still ongoing to determine if there are more victims.
A suspect was detained at the scene and transferred to hospital for treatment prior to his arrest.

“I would renew my appeal to anyone who was in the Molly Road/Doon Road area this morning to contact police. We are particularly keen to speak to anyone who was in, or travelling through Derrylin prior to the time the fire broke out at approximately 7.10am.”
