Two men were charged at a special sitting of Wexford District Court on Monday with the murder of Rebecca French (30), whose body was found in the boot of a burnt car in Ballindinas on the previous Friday evening. Ricardas Dilys (27) and Ruslanas Mineikis (25), both with addresses in Wexford town, were remanded in custody.

The two men, both from Lithuania, were among six arrested in connection with the murder; two other men, Polish national Piotr Pasiak (30) and local man Patrick O'Connor (40), were also remanded in custody to Clover Hill on charges in relation to impeding the prosecution of a person known to be guilty of an offence.

Two women, one Irish and one Lithuanian, who had also been detained, were released without charge; a file is being prepared for the DPP.
