Gardaí in Kerry investigating the disappearance and murder of Michael Gaine are continuing to question a man in his 50s arrested yesterday.
The man is understood to have suspended questioning overnight to avail of a rest period, meaning the clock was paused in relation to his period of detention.
Mr Gaine was reported missing from his home at Carraig East, around 8km from Kenmare, in Co Kerry, on Friday 21 March 2025.
Human tissue found on his farm were identified in May that year as his remains.
Mr Gaine was last seen on 20 March 2025.
The 56-year-old was well known in farming and motorsport circles.
Hundreds of people joined a search of the rugged, mountainous terrain of his 1,000-acre farm, co-ordinated by gardaí and the coast guard.
The Garda Water Unit also searched a number of lakes, streams and rivers within a 5km radius of Mr Gaine’s home.
