A MOTHER was remanded in custody last night after being charged with the murder of her two children in a car blaze.
Thelma Dennany, aged five, and her two-year-old brother Mikey were fatally injured when their vehicle went on fire at around 4pm on September 9.
Their mother Lynn Egar, 48, appeared at a late special sitting of Mullingar District Court yesterday evening.
She did not address the proceedings and, following a five-minute hearing, was remanded in custody to appear again at Athlone District Court via video next Wednesday.
A passer-by came across their car engulfed in flames at Lackan, a townland on a rural road linking the villages Multyfarnham and Coole.
