A woman has been charged with withholding information in the investigation into the suspected murder of Carrie Mullane.

The 39-year-old has been missing since she arrived in Enniskillen from Limerick on 10 October 2026.

On Monday a body was recovered by police from Lough Erne in County Fermanagh.

The woman, 69, will appear at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

A man aged in his 30s who was also arrested in connection with the investigation remains in police custody.

On Saturday, a 35-year-old man appeared in court charged with Carrie Mullane's murder and preventing lawful burial.

Over the past few days, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) conducted searches in a number of areas in County Fermanagh, including Lough Erne.

A square blue tent with a white roof sits on the far side of a wooden fence. There are brown trees and a river on the far side of it, with men in white suits and black uniforms around it.
The scene was examined by forensic investigators

Upon removal of the body the PSNI said they were in contact with her family to let them know about the development but added that formal identification "may take a period of time".

During one operation, a small boat was recovered from under the water beside Tullyinnishmore jetty outside Enniskillen.

It was removed from the scene last Friday.
