So, a man in his 40s is now in custody in connection with a shooting that went down back in July. This incident happened in Petrician Park over in Dunlalfar, early on a Sunday morning, July 5th, to be exact. The victim, who locals identified as 39-year-old Mark Cullen, sadly passed away right there at the scene. Now, the police or guard eye, as they call them over there, made this arrest on Thursday. They picked up a man in his 50s. He's being held under a specific section of the Criminal Justice Act, which basically means they can keep him for up to seven days if they need more. Time to investigate. This isn't the first arrest in this case, though. Earlier this year, they did bring in another man, someone in his 30s, but he was eventually released without any charges. The plan is still to put together a file for the director of public prosecutions on that earlier arrest. The investigation is still very much active, according to an official statement. They're continuing to look into all the details surrounding Mark Cullen's death and the events that led up to it.
So, a man is currently being questioned, and the authorities are working to piece together what happened that morning in July. It's a developing situation, and they're keeping the pressure on to get to the bottom of it all. I'm Cory with The Story, and you've been listening to Bill Fas News today, AI-powered local news.
