UPDATE : One man released in relation to the murder of Gerry Nolan

One of the men arrested in relation to the murder Gerry Nolan has been released.

Yesterday two men – aged 27 and 30 – were arrested in Dublin yesterday and taken to Kilkenny and Thomastown Garda stations.

44-year-old Gerry Nolan died as a result of a fire in his mobile home in Deerpark, Castlecomer in July of 2006, but a murder investigation was only launched last year following fresh information.

This afternoon one of the two arrested was released without charge and file is being prepared for the DPP.

The same is expected to happen with the second man later this evening.
