New Searches Underway In Drogheda In Mulready-Woods Investigation

Gardaí investigating the murder of Keane Mulready-Woods(17) are carrying out further searches in Drogheda.

According to reports, a search is underway at Oldbridge, with the surrounding area sealed and the road closed.

It follows searches carried out earlier this week in the Rathmullen Park area of the town. 

Keane was brutally murdered earlier this month and his body was dismembered. So far body parts have been discovered at two locations in Dublin.

Garda continue to appeal for information on the location of Keane's remains. Anyone who has information to come forward, so his family can plan his funeral.

It is believed that the teenagers murder is connected to an ongoing feud between two Drogheda criminal gangs.
