A 69-year-old woman has been charged with withholding information in connection with the suspected murder of 39-year-old Carrie Mullane, RTÉ reported. Police stated that the accused woman is expected to appear in Dungannon Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

Ms Mullane, a mother of four from Limerick, vanished after arriving in Enniskillen on October 10, 2026. Investigators believe she was killed shortly after her arrival, according to RTÉ. Officers began searching for her after receiving a disappearance report on October 29, 2026.

A specialist police search team recovered a body from Upper Lough Erne near the village of Carrybridge on Monday afternoon, RTÉ reported. Police located the remains during an operation that also involved recovering a small boat from beneath the water near Tullyinnishmore jetty, BBC reported.

The formal identification process remains ongoing, The Irish Times reported. Detectives noted that formal identification could take some time, according to BBC.

Michael Lynch, 35, of Trasna Park, Enniskillen, appeared in Dungannon Magistrates Court on Saturday, The Irish Times reported. He faces charges of murder and preventing the lawful burial of a corpse.

Police also held a man in his 30s in custody for questioning, RTÉ reported. Detectives previously secured additional custody extensions of 36 hours for the man and 24 hours for a woman, BBC reported.
