'find murder victim in the northeast' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'might allow one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'allow' could be 'le' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'le' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'a' (a thing is one thing) and 'a' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enable that I've seen before include "Activate" , "Make possible, give the means to do something" , "Render capable" , "Make it possible for someone to do something" , "Authorise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
