Associate is quizzed over ‘helping to ditch body’
A KNOWN associate of Robbie Lawlor continued to be questioned last night by gardai investigating the murder of teenager Keane Mulready-woods.
The man, aged in his 20s, was arrested on Saturday afternoon in a Dublin prison where he is on remand for a serious assault.
He is being questioned on suspicion of aiding killers to dispose of the head, hands and feet of murdered Keane.
He had been lured to a house in Drogheda on January 12 last year and murdered before his limbs were thrown from a car in the Moatview area of Coolock in Dublin.
Two days later, Keane’s head, hands and feet were recovered from a burning car in a laneway near Croke Park.
This suspect’s arrest comes as three men arrested earlier in the week were released on Saturday without charge.
One of those men is also
a close associate of murdered drug trafficker Richie Carberry and a pal of slain Lawlor – who gardai believe carried out the gruesome murder of the teen. Lawlor was shot dead in April 2020 outside a house in Belfast.
Drug trafficker Carberry, 39, was shot dead in November 2019 outside his home in Bettystown, Co Meath, as part of the ongoing Drogheda feud.
A file is now being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to those three men in their 20s, 40s and 50s.
Tragic Keane’s torso remained missing for over a year but gardai made a breakthrough in March when they received a crucial tip-off from a man who came forward.
A search of waste ground in Rathmullen in Drogheda commenced and gardai recovered the partial skeletal remains which were later confirmed to be Keane’s.
