A body has been recovered from Lough Erne in County Fermanagh during the search for missing County Limerick woman Carrie Mullane.
The 39-year-old mother of four has been missing since last month. The body was discovered in Upper Lough Erne, close to the village of Carrybridge, by a specialist PSNI search team this afternoon.
Formal identification has yet to take place.
Police believe Ms Mullane was murdered shortly after arriving in Enniskillen. Officers began searching for her remains after being notified of her disappearance on October 29th.
Detective Superintendent Richard Thornton, from the PSNI's Serious Crime Branch, confirmed that the woman's family had been informed of the latest development and were receiving support from police.
He said the formal identification process must now be completed, which could take some time.
Detectives are continuing to investigate and have renewed their appeal for information, urging anyone who may have relevant details, no matter how insignificant they might seem, to come forward.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference number 272 of October 29th.
Members of the public can also submit photographs and video footage, including CCTV, mobile phone recordings and dashcam footage, through the Major Incident Public Portal.
Meanwhile, detectives investigating the suspected murder have been granted additional time to question two people arrested in connection with the case.
A man in his 30s has been given a further 36 hours in custody, while a woman in her 60s has been granted an additional 24 hours for questioning. Both were arrested yesterday on suspicion of murder.
Separately, a 35-year-old man appeared in court over the weekend charged with the murder of Ms Mullane and preventing the lawful burial of a corpse.
The investigation remains ongoing.
