Sentencing Adjourned For Offaly Father Whose Son Died In Arson Attack

Tullamore Circuit Court heard yesterday from 27-year-old Aaron Holt.

The sentencing of the Offaly father of a four year old boy who was killed in an arson attack has been adjourned.

27 year old Aaron Holt of Castleview Park in Edenderry, appeared before Tullamore Circuit Court yesterday over possession of just under €33,000 worth of heroin.

He has already pleaded guilty to a charge of possession and possession for sale and supply.

His son Tadgh Farrell, and Tadgh's grant aunt Mary Holt were killed in a firebomb attack on a home in Castleview Park last month.

The Irish Times is reporting Judge Keenan Johnson said the case was an illustration of the scourge of illicit drugs and adjourned the case until the 27th of January.
