Waterford tragedy: Police in Ireland investigate killing of four

The National Police of Ireland (Garda Sheehan) has officially launched a full-scale investigation into the murder after the death of four people as a result of the deliberate arson of an apartment building in Waterford. Emergency services arrived at the scene on a call about a strong fire of a two-storey building, but due to the rapid spread of flames, it was not possible to save people inside.

Forensic experts and fire investigators found clear traces of the use of flammable liquids and intentional blocking of evacuation routes, which allowed the investigation to immediately exclude the version of a domestic accident. The area of the tragedy is cordoned off by forensic units, law enforcement officers interview neighbors, seize street surveillance cameras and establish the exact motives for the crime.

The tragic incident has caused a deep shock to the local community and the Irish leadership. The Prime Minister and Minister of Justice of Ireland expressed their deepest condolences to the families of the victims and assured the public that those responsible for this brutal atrocity would be promptly identified and brought to justice.
