Family killed in Fermanagh lived in Tralee before N.I
A NUMBER of state agencies in the Kerry area are helping the PSNI with investigations into the deaths of four family members who perished in an alleged arson attack in Fermanagh last week.
The four victims a woman, two teenagers and an 18 month old baby – who are all related – are understood to have lived in Tralee for a time before moving to the rural northern Irish village of Derrylin near the Cavan border.
On Monday Daniel Allen (27) with an address at Molly Road, Enniskillen appeared before Enniskillen Magistrates court where he was charged with four counts of murder and one count of arson arising from the blaze which broke out in the early hours of February 27.
The victims of the fire were originally from Doncaster and moved to the Republic from the UK about three years ago, settling for a time in Tralee.
During their time in Tralee they were in contact with various agencies including the HSE and Department of Social Protection.
The Kerryman understands that the various Irish agencies who dealt with the family are examining their files in relation to the family’s circumstances and how they came to move from Tralee to Northern Ireland. The four victims have not been officially identified but they have been named locally as 16-year-old Edward Gossett, his sister Diane Gossett (19), their mother Crystal Gossett, and Diane’s young daughter, who he believes was under two-years-old.
They had moved to Derrylin a year a half ago.
