A 35-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Carrie Mullane, a 39-year-old from Limerick missing since October 10.

A 35-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Carrie Mullane (Noonan), 39, who has been missing since arriving in Enniskillen from Limerick on 10 October. Michael Lynch, with an address at Trasna Park, Enniskillen, is also charged with preventing the lawful burial of a corpse. He appeared before Dungannon Magistrates' Court via video link on 7 November.

The PSNI launched a missing person investigation on 29 October after officers were made aware of Ms Mullane's disappearance. Detectives said they believe she may have been murdered. The last sighting of her was when she travelled by taxi from Enniskillen bus station on Wellington Road to Trasna Park at approximately 9 pm on 10 October.

Police carried out a number of searches in County Fermanagh, including Lough Erne. A small boat and a camper van were recovered and taken away for examination. Police released images of the campervan and boat as they believed they could be clues in their investigation.

A detective sergeant told the court she could connect the accused to the charges. As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service. Lynch is reported to have lived most of his life in the Republic of Ireland.
