Gardai say they've now made a fifth arrest, a man aged in his 20's.

A fifth person has been arrested in connection with the deaths of a woman and young boy in county Offaly last year.

Four year old Tadgh Farrell and his grand-aunt Mary Holt were killed when a house in Edenderry was firebombed last December.

Four people were detained as part of the investigation in recent day, three men and a teenage boy.

Gardai say they've now made a fifth arrest, a man aged in his 20's.

All five are being questioned at Garda stations across the midlands.
