LAST UPDATE | 25 Nov 2024
TWO PEOPLE WHO were arrested over the discovery of a body in Gorey, Co Wexford in July have been released without charge.
The body of a man in his 40s was discovered on 21 July, shortly before midday.
The discovery was made at a home in the Clonattin area.
An investigation was launched and is being spearheaded by a senior investigating officer.
A man (50s) and a woman (40s) were arrested this morning as part of the ongoing investigation.
Both people were arrested under Section 7 (2) of the Criminal Law Act, 1997 – which makes it a crime for any person knowing or believing that another person committed an arrestable offence and seeks to “impede” a prosecution.
They have since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A garda spokesperson said investigations remain ongoing.
