Civilian killed in suspected arson attack on car in Omagh

Another person, Aaron Moffett (38), has been confirmed dead after falling from a moving vehicle in Armagh

Police have revealed a body was discovered after a blaze was extinguished in the Rylagh Road area of Omagh yesterday (August 2), per The Irish Times.

While the force is investigating the circumstances of the incident, a police spokeswoman has issued an appeal for anyone who has additional information.

The PSNI received a report at around 2 pm on Saturday from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service claiming that a silver Mitsubishi Lancer GS2 was on fire in the Rylagh Road area of the town.

The spokeswoman goes on to explain: "As fire officers extinguished the blaze, they discovered that, tragically, a person had died as a result of the fire.

"We are treating this fire as arson, and our inquiries as to how the person came to be beside the vehicle are ongoing."

The spokeswoman urges anyone who may have been in the area around that time to come forward or to report anything suspicious.

"We would be particularly keen to hear from anyone who had dashcam or other footage and would also like to hear from anyone who may have noticed this particular vehicle," she said.

In the meantime, the PSNI confirmed another man died from serious injuries he sustained following a fall from a moving vehicle in the Markethill area of Co Armagh on Saturday, July 12th.

Police later confirmed the man to be Aaron Moffett, aged 38, who has died in hospital on Friday (August 1).

However, police are continuing to investigate the incident and have urged anyone with information or footage to come forward.
