Editing Rachel Crawshaw (section)

==Fire==
Crawshaw, 28 at sentencing, had been a drug and alcohol addict most of her adult life. She underwent years of counseling and therapy but her slide continued.

On March 12, 2014, she tried to kill herself and was hospitalized, but discharged herself so she could resume drinking. She returned home to her rented third-floor apartment at Granary Court, St Joseph’s Rd, Mallow.

She set fire to three spots in the house; curtains, a mattress, and a pile of clothes. She did not use any accelerant. Crawshaw was extremely drunk and her motive is unclear, although it was possibly a suicide attempt. Around 80,000 euros of damage was caused.

Greg Lonergan was so badly burned his family was not allowed to view the body. He was identified through dental records.
