A 31-year-old man accused of causing the deaths of three generations of the same family, including a baby, has been found not to have diminished responsibility.

Daniel Sebastian Allen, whose address was given as the scene of the horror incident at Molly Road, Derrylin, has remained remanded in custody since his arrest.

He is charged with murdering Denise Gossett (45); her son, Roman (16), and daughter Sabrina (19), whose baby daughter, Morgana, also perished in the blaze..

All resided in the Co. Fermanagh property when the incident occurred on February 27, 2018.

Allen previously pleaded not guilty to the charges, as well as to one count of arson endangering life with intent.

There have been a number of delays in having the case set for trial, the most recent being in relation to obtaining an in-depth assessment around Allen’s mental health.

During a review hearing of Dungannon Crown Court, sitting in Belfast, a defence barrister confirmed a consultant psychiatrist conducted an assessment of Allen that "does not support diminished responsibility, and we no longer have evidence to support that".

A trial is now potentially to take place in September, and is expected to last approximately two weeks.
