Man charged with murder of missing woman Carrie Mullane in Northern Ireland

A man has been charged with the murder of a missing woman whose whereabouts remain unknown.

The 35-year-old is accused of killing Carrie Mullane, 39, and preventing the lawful burial of a corpse.

Ms Mullane has been missing since arriving in Enniskillen from Limerick a month ago, with police only becoming aware of her disappearance on 29 October.

Hours before announcing the charges on Friday, detectives appealed for information about a campervan and boat they want to trace.

Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton, from the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said Ms Mullane was last seen with a "man known to her" on 10 October

"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," said Mr Thornton.

He said police believed the boat and van were "linked to Carrie's disappearance and suspected murder".

"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," the superintendent added.

The suspect, who has not yet been named, is due to appear by video link at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Saturday.
