A body has been recovered from Lough Erne in County Fermanagh by a specialist PSNI search team. The discovery was made on Monday afternoon in Upper Lough Erne near the village of Carrybridge. Police have linked the find to the investigation into the murder of 39-year-old Carrie Mullane (Noonan).

Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton of the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch said the force has informed Ms Mullane's family and is providing support. He said formal identification has yet to take place and may take some time. He renewed an appeal for anyone with information, however insignificant, to come forward.

Ms Mullane, a mother of four from Limerick, travelled to Enniskillen by bus on 10 October, accompanied by a man known to her. The last confirmed sighting of her was at approximately 9pm that day, when she and her companion took a taxi from the bus depot on Wellington Road to an address in Trasna Park. There were no subsequent sightings and she did not contact family or friends, which police said was out of character and led to grave concerns for her safety.

Michael Lynch, 35, of Trasna Park, Enniskillen, appeared at Dungannon court on Saturday charged with Ms Mullane's murder and with preventing the lawful burial of a corpse. On Sunday, police arrested a man in his 30s and a woman in her 60s in the Enniskillen area on suspicion of murder. On Monday, detectives were granted a further 36 hours to question the man and a further 24 hours to question the woman.

On Friday police released images of a boat and a campervan believed to be linked to the case. A small boat recovered from under the water beside Tullyinnishmore jetty outside Enniskillen was removed from the scene on a barge the same day. Police appealed for sightings of the boat or campervan between the late hours of 10 October and 1 November, and for dashcam, doorbell or other footage. They particularly asked boat owners on Upper Lough Erne who may have seen the boat on the lough during that period to contact them.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting reference 272 of 29/10/26. Footage can be shared via the Major Incident Public Portal at https://mipp.police.uk. Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at http://crimestoppers-uk.org.
