A man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing four members of the same family in County Fermanagh.

Daniel Sebastian Allen, 32, from Doon Road, Derrylin, changed his plea as his trial was about to start.

He admitted the murders of Roman Gossett, 16, his sister Sabrina, 19, and Sabrina's 15-month-old daughter Morgana Quinn.

But denied murdering Denise Gossett, 45, and instead admitted manslaughter, by reason of a suicide pact.

The court was told this plea was acceptable to the prosecution.

Allen's voice broke as he pleaded guilty to a fifth charge of arson with intent to endanger life.

The fire happened at a cottage the family were renting on Doon Road, Derrylin, on 27 February 2018.
