One still held over disappearance of Roma girl

Gardaí have released without charge three people who were being questioned in connection with the disappearance of a Romanian teenager in Dublin.

Marioara Rostas (19) has been missing since January 6th last, when she was seen getting into a car on Lombard Street East.

Earlier today, gardaí released the man and two women who were arrested on Friday morning in the Dublin 8 area of the city.

They had been detained at Kevin Street, Harcourt Terrace and Pearse Street Garda stations under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

A fourth person was arrested on Saturday in connection with the disappearance. He is still being questioned and can be held for 72 hours.

Ms Rostas was wearing blue jeans, a white top, pink scarf and a long black jacket when she was last seen. She was begging at the junction of Pearse Street when her younger brother saw her talking to a motorist and then getting into his silver car.

She had only been in Ireland for three weeks when she disappeared. Detectives believe that she was killed in a house in the south inner city and her remains were disposed of elsewhere.

The Garda Water Unit searched a section of the Grand Canal near Donore Avenue in recent days but nothing was found.
