Gardaí investigating the murder of Dublin man Ciarán Noonan (29) have arrested a man in relation to the killing.
The man, aged in his 30s, was arrested in the west Dublin area this morning and is currently being held at Store St Garda station under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act.
Mr Noonan’s body was found on Friday, November 4th, at farmland in Co Meath after he had been missing for two weeks. The exact spot where the remains lay was identified after information was passed to gardaí.
The father of one had been missing since the afternoon of Thursday, October 20th. The last confirmed sighting of him was on Russell Avenue, East Wall, that afternoon. He was seen being beaten by a number of men, at least one of whom was armed with an iron bar, before being bundled into the back of a car and driven off.
Gardaí believe at least four men were involved in the abduction and that the killing was drug-related and linked to a north Dublin crime gang.
Some 6 arrests have been made to date as part of the investigation.
