A family member of slain teen Keane Mulready has said they want justice for his brutal death and has urged anyone with information to contact gardai.
Distraught family are still trying to get to grips with the brutal crime after gardai confirmed the body parts found in Dublin this week belonged to the 17-year-old from Drogheda.
A major investigation has been running all week and a house in Rathmullen Park, which may have been the scene of the murder, has been sealed off for the past 24 hours.
Keane's heartbroken cousin has urged anyone with information to contact gardai as any little info could prove vital in catching the culrits.
She said: "Sickos! If anyone hears or sees anything please just send it to the guards. We wants justice for our boy Keane."
Last night gardai officially confirmed the body parts found in Coolock belonged to the youngster.
They are waiting for DNA tests to confirm that the parts found in a burning car in Ballybough are also his.
In an emotional press conference at Drogheda Station, a garda spokesperson described the attack as "brutal and savage" and one that it was "completely unacceptable in any normal democratic society".
He said: "Keane is a 17-year-old juvenile, he disappeared on Sunday 12th January and parts of his remains have now been discovered.
"This is a brutal and savage attack on a child and is completely unacceptable in any normal democratic society. The level of violence is shocking and the investigation into the murder of Keane is being co-ordinated from Drogheda Garda Station.
"It is important to remember that Keane was a child, a young boy, trying to find his way in life, he has now lost his life and his family have lost their loved son and brother."
Gardai have outlined two main suspects in the shocking case, both of whom have links to feuds in Coolock and Drogheda.
One of the men has recently been released from prison while the other escaped a hit attempt just hours before the gruesome discovery was made in Dublin.
The suspect escaped by the skin of his teeth on Monday when the taxi he was travelling in was shot at in an apparent retaliation in Drogheda.
An innocent driver was rushed to hospital after the shooting and suffered non life-threatening injuries.
