Man charged with murder in relation to disappearance of mother-of-four

A 35-year-old man has been charged with murder in relation to a woman’s disappearance and suspected murder.

Detectives investigating the disappearance and suspected murder of Carrie Mullane (Noonan), who has been missing since her arrival in Enniskillen from Limerick on October 10, have charged a man to court.

Mother-of-four Carrie Mullane (39) vanished after arriving in Enniskillen from Limerick on October 10.

Police were made aware of her disappearance on October 29.

Detectives said it is “very likely” Ms Mullane came to harm shortly after her arrival in Northern Ireland.

PSNI released images of a campervan and sunken boat they believe may be connected to Ms Mullane’s disappearance.

Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton, from PSNI Serious Crime Branch, said: “Carrie is a much loved mother, sister and friend and is greatly missed by everyone who knows and loves her.

“She was last seen on October 10, after travelling to Enniskillen with a man known to her. The last confirmed sighting we have of Carrie was when she travelled by taxi from Enniskillen bus station on Wellington Road to Trasna Park at approximately 9pm on that Saturday night.

“From this point on, her movements are unknown and this is where we hope that the public can help us.

“We are releasing images of a boat and a campervan that we believe are linked to Carrie’s disappearance and suspected murder. Establishing the movements of these could yield vital evidence in the search for Carrie.

“We want to hear from anyone who may have sighted either the boat or the campervan between the late hours of October 10 and November 1, and from anyone who may have captured any relevant dashcam, doorbell or any other kind of footage.

“In particular I would like to appeal to boat owners on Upper Lough Erne who may have seen this boat on the lough in between these dates.

“Please take a good look at the images we are releasing.”

The 35-year-old is charged with murder and preventing the lawful burial of a body.

He is due to appear via video link before Dungannon Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, November 7.

As is usual procedure, all charges will be reviewed by the Public Prosecution Service.
