Keane Mulready Woods: Second man released without charge as Gardai continue murder probe

A second man has been released without charge as Gardai continue their probe into the gruesome murder of teenager Keane Mulready Woods.

The man, in his early 20s, was released without charge - following the release of another man on Friday - and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The 17-year-old was brutally tortured, murdered and dismembered after he was abducted in the Ballsgriove area of Co Louth in a brutal killing that horrified the nation in January.

Parts of the teen's body were found by a group of teenagers inside a black sports bag thrown from a car at Moatview Drive in Darndale.

Two days later, his severed head was found in a burning car on Trinity Terrace just off Clonliffe Road in Drumcondra. His torso has never been recovered.

Another man, in his 40s, that was arrested on Tuesday morning 8th December 2020 remains in Garda custody at Drogheda Garda station.
