Files being prepared for DPP on woman and man over Lucan murder

Files are being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions on a man and a woman who were arrested this week by gardaí investigating the gun murder of Wayne Whelan in Lucan last year.

The woman, aged in her 30, was the fifth person to be arrested in connection with the death of Mr Whelan (42) whose body was found in a burning car in Mount Andrew, Lucan, on November 18th.

A post mortem determined he died from several gunshot wounds. DNA samples were required to identify his body.

Detectives arrested the woman, who is aged in her 30s, on Tuesday morning. She was held in Ronanstown Garda Station and later released without charge.
