Mum of four believed murdered in the north described as “the most gentle soul”

Carrie Mullane's family have described her as someone who "fought so many of her own battles".

A body believed to be that of Carrie Mullane's was found yesterday in Lough Erne.

The PSNI believes it “very likely” that Carrie came to harm shortly after her arrival in Enniskillen and is treating her disappearance as a suspected murder.

The body was recovered by a specialist police search team, the PSNI said in a statement. Formal identification has not yet been carried out.

Detectives investigating Ms Mullane (Noonan)'s disappearance previously arrested a woman aged in her 60s and a two men aged in their 30s in Enniskillen on suspicion of murder.

The mother of four has not been seen since October 10th after travelling to Fermanagh. Police fear she has been murdered.

One of Carrie's cousins said on social media that she "put everyone above herself" and how "deeply she loved her children".

"She carried so much quietly, yet always found a way to be there for others. You did not deserve any of this Carrie, and to say we are all broken is an understatement," the post read.

She leaves behind her four children, her father, sisters and brothers.

She is the 32nd adult woman to be killed in the north of Ireland since 2020.
