Kevin Lunney Kidnap: Three Released Without Charge

Three people arrested by detectives investigating the abduction and torture of Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIH) director Kevin Lunney have been released without charge.

The two men, aged 23, and a 61 year-old woman were arrested in Co Fermanagh and questioned at Omagh Police Station on Thursday.

They have since been released unconditionally.

A third individual, a man in his 30s, was detained by Gardaí in Co Cavan on Thursday.

It comes amid a cross-border investigation into the kidnap and torture of the Co Fermanagh businessman last September. The father-of-six suffered life changing injuries in the attack before being left by a roadside in Co Cavan.

Police have urged anyone with information, "no matter how insignificant it appears", in relation to the attack to contact detectives in Enniskillen on 101 quoting reference 1748 of the 17/09/19 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
