Human body parts found in two locations are those of missing teenager, Gardaí suspect:Remains in burned-out car in Drumcondra may be linked to previous discovery of limbs.
UPDATE:
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has said the full resources of An Garda Síochána are available to the team investigating the murder of 17-year-old Keane Mulready-Woods.
The teenager was murdered and his remains dismembered before being left at a number of locations in Dublin.
A house in the Rathmullen Park area in Drogheda remains sealed off as forensic specialists continue a detailed examination of the property.
Gardaí believe Keane was murdered as part of the ongoing feud between two criminal gangs in Drogheda.
Commissioner Harris has visited Drogheda and Coolock Garda Stations and assured the investigation teams of the full support of the organisation.
The officer leading the investigation has said the two feuding criminal gangs are intent on inflicting maximum damage on each other, and that gardaí are dealing with an unacceptable level of violence.
Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan described the murder as horrific, and insisted gardaí are determined to bring those responsible for Keane's murder to justice.
He said Keane's murder, the dismemberment of his body and the dissemination of his remains represents a level of brutality and savagery completely unacceptable in any democratic society.
The results of DNA tests released by gardaí last night confirmed that human limbs found in Coolock in Dublin on Monday night are those of the 17-year-old.
Similar tests are also expected to confirm today or tomorrow that human remains found in a burning car in Ballybough yesterday morning are also those of Keane's.
Supt Mangan said the gangs involved wanted to control parts of society through cocaine, and finance lifestyles through drugs and intimidation.
He insisted that gardaí were not going to allow that to happen.
UPDATE ENDS:
The last confirmed sighting of the
17-year-old missing from Drogheda, Co Louth was
on Sunday. When family and friends unable to contact him over the following 24
hours they became very concerned.
blogdelnarco.com/ (Blog del Narco.com is published in Mexico).
Human remains were discovered in a vehicle
in Drumcondra, north Dublin on Wednesday morning. The remains were found after
a fire was extinguished in the car in the early hours.
The emergency services had been called to
a location at Trinity Terrace off
Clonliffe Road, near Croke Park, where a car was alight. Gardaí suspected
the find may be linked to the discovery of limbs in a bag in Darndale on Monday
night.
A forensic examination of the Drumcondra location is to take place, Gardaí said, and the scene has been sealed off and preserved. The remains will
be tested for DNA matches to the limbs, which were found in a plastic bag on
the side of a road in the Moatview housing estate in Darndale.

Suspected human remains found in a bag in north Dublin
Limbs found in bag in north Dublin could be missing teenager
Locals ‘shocked’ at dumping of body parts in Darndale
Gardaí were searching for the rest of the body on Monday and one line of inquiry was that the remains are those of a 17-year-old junior member of a Drogheda drugs gang. Gardaí suspect the remains found in the vehicle in Drumcondra could be the rest of the body. The state pathologist and the Garda technical bureau will attend the scene this morning. A member of the teenager’s family began posting on social media on Monday afternoon seeking information on his whereabouts. Within hours, limbs had been found in a bag in Darndale.
The missing teenager had links to one of
two gangs that have been involved in a gun feud in Drogheda for just over 18
months.
A threat had been made against the teenager
by a criminal gang led by a man who has been in dispute with one of the
Drogheda gangs and also a gang from north Dublin.
Gardaí now suspect that the threat - to
abduct, murder and dismember the teenager - has now effectively been carried
out.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland,
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe - whose
constituency the burning car was discovered in - defended the Government’s
record on policing. He said he had experience in his constituency of “the cycle
of terror and the cycle of fear organised crime can bring”. The Garda budget
had been increased to an all-time high, he added.
Speaking on the same programme, Fianna
Fáil’s director of elections Dara Calleary
criticised the Government for reducing investment in urban renewal projects,
and said gardaí fighting organised crime and gang feuds around the country had
been hit by resource shortages.
Asked about Fianna Fáil’s role in bringing
about austerity which led to programme cuts, he said “cuts were made but
choices were also made as to the direction of those cuts”, and claimed his
party’s participation in confidence and supply had led to increased money for
services.
Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast, Fianna Fáil justice
spokesman Jim O’Callaghan said the areas most affected by violent crime are
also the most deprived areas, and there was a need to concentrate resources in
those areas. “Drugs are at the heart of this problem. People need to disown
drugs and say that they are not prepared to accept that level of depravity in
society.”

UPDATE
Fears grow that missing teenager involved in Drogheda feud is victim of brutal murder after body parts found in Coolock
FEARS are growing that a missing teenager
involved in the Drogheda feud was brutally murdered before being chopped up.
And
the Irish Sun revealed the teen, aged just 17, was officially warned by
Gardai on January 5 that his life was under threat.
The
arms and limbs were discovered
in a sports bag outside the homes in Moatview Gardens and
Moatview Drive, around 10pm.
The
grim find was made by a number of youths before the alarm was raised.
A
post mortem was held on the remains yesterday as investigators await the
results of DNA tests. Gardai are also still searching for the head and torso.
Although
Gardai have yet to establish a positive identity of the human remains, they
will be testing DNA from the limbs against the missing boy’s for a match.
GANG INVOLVEMENT
We
can also reveal how officers had already obtained the lad’s DNA after he was
convicted last month of intimidating the mother of a teenager who owed a drug
debt to one of the feuding drugs mobs.
On
that occasion, he smashed the windows of her house before throwing a petrol
bomb into it. He later received a suspended sentence.
The
missing teen — due to turn 18 next month — had also been linked to other petrol
bomb attacks connected to the lethal turf war last year.
During
the feud, the teen, who also had connections to Mr Flashy’s gang in Finglas,
had been working as an enforcer for paralysed gang boss Owen Maguire’s
associates.
But
he’s also suspected of working with Maguire’s enemies. The main theory is he
was butchered by Maguire’s enemies after a dispute.
'NEW LEVEL OF VIOLENCE'
A
source said: “There are a number of young men playing both sides and the
problem is they think they’re invincible . . . If this is feud related then
this takes the violence to a whole new level.”
Investigators
in Coolock and Drogheda are now working together on the gruesome murder and
held a case conference yesterday.
They
are also examining other missing persons’ cases and have urged people to come
forward.
Officers
are now trying to establish where the victim — who’s also understood to have
been threatened on social media — was murdered.
One
theory is that the victim may have been murdered outside the capital before his
body parts were brought to Coolock.
