A woman (27) has been arrested in connection with a suspicious house fire in Drogheda, Co Louth last year - in which an elderly woman was seriously injured and subsequently died.

The blaze broke out at a house on Chord Road in the early hours of August 16th 2014.

A woman (73) was asleep in the house at the time. She was rescued by a man in his 30s who entered the house and pulled her from the blaze.

The man suffered burn injuries that were not life-threatening.

The arrested woman was detained in Drogheda last night, and is due to appear before Drogheda District Court later.
