Three people who were arrested in connection with a suspected arson attack that resulted in the deaths of four family members in the Republic of Ireland have been released without charge, according to gardaí.

The incident occurred earlier this month at a home on Birch Avenue, located on the outskirts of Waterford. The fire claimed the lives of Philip and Kim English, along with two of their children, nine-year-old Jayden and 12-year-old Callum. Flowers have been left at the site of the tragedy.

The three individuals released on Saturday include two women in their 30s and a man in his 50s; they had been arrested on Tuesday. A fourth person, a man in his 20s who was taken into custody on Thursday, continues to be held by authorities.

Previously, a man in his 20s and a woman in her 30s were charged in connection with the attack.
