Four members died after the arson attack at their home in Waterford

A man in his 20s, who was arrested in connection with a suspected arson attack which killed four family members in the Republic of Ireland, has been released without charge.

Philip and Kim English and two of their children - nine-year-old Jayden and 12-year-old Callum - died after their home in Birch Avenue, on the outskirts of Waterford, was set on fire earlier this month.

A man aged in his 20s and a woman in her 30s were previously charged in connection with the attack.

On Saturday, gardaí (Irish police) said three people - two women in their 30s and a man in his 50s - who were arrested on Tuesday were released without charge.

Gardaí said investigations into the attack are ongoing.
