Gardaí investigating the murder of Dublin man Ciarán Noonan (29) have made a seventh arrest in relation to the killing.
The latest arrest was made this morning when a man in his late 20s was detained and taken to Store Street Garda station where he is being held under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act.
Another man, aged in his 30s, was arrested in west Dublin yesterday morning. He is still being held under the same 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.
