Two charged over Waterford arson attack further remanded
A man and a woman, who are charged in connection with an arson attack in Waterford city in which four people died last week, have been further remanded in custody.
Jessica Dalton, 31, and Cian Stacey, 21, appeared in Waterford District Court today, charged with arson that resulted in the deaths of four individuals - Kim and Philip English, and their two young sons, Callum and Jayden - in their Birchwood estate home last Monday. The court heard that both individuals are also accused of assault causing serious harm against two unnamed victims, and criminal damage.
Jessica Dalton, dressed in a wine-coloured tracksuit, requested bail during her court appearance, but her solicitor, Ken Cunningham, opted to reserve his position on bail until a later date. Ms Dalton has been granted free legal aid and will be remanded in custody for 28 days, with a court appearance scheduled for 17 November via video-link.
Cian Stacey, who appeared via video-link, also consented to a 28-day remand in custody, with his next court date also set for 17 November via video-link. Both defendants are in custody and have free legal representation.
