A woman aged in her 20s has been rearrested by gardai investigating an alleged fatal assault in Co Donegal.
A body was previously recovered from the water by gardai investigating the alleged assault, which was reported to have occurred in the Slieve League/Killybegs areas of Co Donegal on either Saturday June 24 or Sunday June 25.
A major search operation was initiated on the mountain and the coastal waters below it in the days following the report.
A man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s arrested in June in connection with the alleged assault were later released without charge.
The 38-year-old man was then rearrested in the county in July and was charged with murder.

The woman, who was rearrested on Monday, is currently detained at a garda station in Donegal under section four of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
