Three suspected drug dealers are in custody suspected of killing a much-loved grandad who was injured during an arson attack at his home.
George Redmond, 76, sustained a fall as he and his wife, Mary Redmond, fled their home in Dorien Road, Old Swan, at around 3.20am on September 1 last year. Neighbours hammered on George and Mary's windows to raise the alarm after the front door of the house was set alight.
The couple managed to escape but the ECHO understands George had a fall on the stairs and suffered serious injuries. His family later said he had appeared to be progressing well with his rehabilitation in hospital, but then died suddenly on September 16.
