One of the two men accused of murdering Keane Mulready-Woods was pictured while out on bail in Dublin city centre in advance of a court appearance on Monday.
Gerard Cruise, 47, and his co-accused 25-year-old Paul Crosby are both facing trial in the Special Criminal Court.
The pair, who were served with their books of evidence in May, are due to make their next court appearance on Monday.
A trial date is expected to be fixed then.
However, we understand it could start as early as next April.
Cruise was granted High Court bail in January – subject to strict conditions while Crosby remains in custody.
But now, our exclusive images show Cruise out and about walking the streets of Dublin as he awaits the murder trial.
Dressed in a black T-shirt and black jeans, he was pictured this week sporting a pair of sunglasses on his head, while leaning against a vehicle and walking across a road.
Keane, 17, was murdered and dismembered at a house in Rathmullan in Drogheda as part of the feud involving two gangs in the Co Louth town.
Partial remains, including his limbs, were found in a bag in Moatview Gardens, Coolock, North Dublin, on January 13 last year.
Two days later his head, hands and feet were found in the boot of a burnt-out car at Trinity Terrace near Ballybough in the capital.
Keane’s torso was discovered during a search of waste ground at Rathmullen Park in Drogheda on March 11 last.
In total 13 people have now been arrested as part of the murder inquiry with three men, including Crosby and Cruise – both from Rathmullan Park in Drogheda – charged before the courts.
