Arson suspected in Armagh house fire Arson suspected in Armagh house fire
(about 4 hours later)
Police in Armagh are investigating a suspected arson attack at a house in the city. A man whose house was deliberately set on fire has described the attack as "attempted murder".
Firefighters were called to Mullacreevie Park at about 02:00 BST on Saturday after it was reported that a house was on fire. Louis O'Neill was asleep when the attack happened in Mullacreevie Park, Armagh at about 02:00 BST on Saturday.
They extinguished the blaze, limiting damage to the front of the property. Neighbours raised the alarm when they heard Mr O'Neill's dogs barking, and firefighters were able to limit the damage to the front of the property.
One man was inside at the time but he was not injured. Mr O'Neill's wife, who was not in the house at the time, is due to give birth to their first child in five weeks.
"Enquiries are continuing, but at this stage police believe the fire was started deliberately," a police officer said. "I have no grief with anybody," Mr O'Neill said.
"If someone had an issue with me I'd expect them to come to me and speak me about it, not do something like this.
"To me, at the end of the day, this is attempted murder."
