The body of the 23-year-old, who worked as a nursing assistant, was found beside a burning car in the Maple Court area on Sunday. The remains were formally identified on Wednesday.
Lurgan women Andrea Stevenson (43) from Edward Street and Stephanie McClelland (36) from Shan Slieve appeared in court this afternoon after they were both charged with assisting an offender.
Both were remanded in custody and will appear via video link at Craigavon Crown Court on December 15.
Two 31-year-old men have also been arrested as part of the police investigation. Both men remain in police custody.
During the proceedings, the court also heard criticism from District Judge Rosie Watters levelled at the amount of people viewing the court hearing via video link.
“People are entitled… but I don’t want any disturbances. I do not want people to behave in a way that they wouldn’t in court,” she said.
Earlier this week, police said they do not believe there was an organised crime link to the killing of Mr Kelly.
A vigil for the murdered man took place in Lurgan on Wednesday. It was attended by hundreds of his friends and family, with some carrying ‘Justice for Odhran’ banners.
Dozens of blue balloons were released during the emotional gathering.
In a floral tribute to him, Mr Kelly’s mother Jacqui Murray and her son Paul left a note which read: “My beautiful boy, taken too soon. My heart is broken into a million pieces. Love you always, Mum and big brother Paul.”
DUP MP Carla Lockhart reiterated the appeal from police for anyone with information about the murder to come forward.
“People in Lurgan are still shocked at this murder, and the thoughts of everyone are with the Kelly family as they struggle to comprehend this terrible tragedy,” she said.
“Police have been working tirelessly on the case and it is important that anyone with information can help bring those responsible to justice.
“There has been an appeal for footage that circulated on social media and it would be important that this might be made available for scrutiny.
“It is important justice is secured for the taking of an innocent young man’s life.”
Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, Mr Kelly’s friend Leah Toal said he was a “kind soul, a great friend, an amazing son and brother [and] the life and soul of the party”.
She added that his “ability to find the good in anyone was unmatched” and “life just isn’t fair, it shouldn’t be this way — Odhran should still be with us”.
