An Garda Síochána in Bray have confirmed that three males who were arrested in connection with the death of a man near a children's playground in the town have now been charged and are due before the courts.

The body of 38-year-old Willie Moorehouse was discovered on January 19 after gardai responded to a disturbance at Boghall Road, Bray. 

Investigating gardai say the three males, one being a juvenile and two others in their 20s and 30s, were arrested on Tuesday night alongside a woman in her 50s. 

All four individuals were detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a garda station in the Wexford/Wicklow Division. 

The woman, aged in her 50s, has been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Investigations are ongoing.
