The two children were killed in September 2022.
An inquest into the murders of two Westmeath children by their mother has returned a verdict of unlawful death.
49-year-old Lynn Egar of Winetown, Rathowen, Westmeath, pleaded guilty to the murders of five-year-old Thelma Dennany and two-year-old Michael at Lackan, Multyfarnham, on September 9th, 2022.
The inquest heard post-mortem examinations were carried out by State Pathologist Sally Anne Collis, who said her findings were that the cause of death was complications of a vehicle fire.
Coronor Raymond Mahon advised the jury a verdict of unlawful death was 'appropriate and proper.'
That verdict was confirmed less than two minutes later when the jury returned from its deliberations.
