Gardai in Wexford have arrested a man and a woman following the discovery of the body of a man in his 20’s in the water at Carrigfoyle Lake, near Barntown, formerly a working quarry and now a recreational area on the outskirts of Wexford town.
The two people who are detained, a man in his 40’s and a woman in her 30’s, are being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and they may be either charged or released tomorrow. They are both detained at a Garda Station in Wexford
The deceased man is Stephen Ring, (27), who was reported missing on Tuesday, October 15th. The missing person appeal was stood down following the discovery of a body earlier today.
Gardaí closed off the area following the discovery around mid-day on Sunday and had to turn away several people looking to use the trails around the lake this afternoon.
Stephen Ring’s remains have been removed to University Hospital Waterford for a post mortem examination expected to take place tomorrow (Monday).
Gardaí have sealed off the scene and members of the Garda Technical Bureau have finished their work for today and uniformed members remain at the scene.
