A man has been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of teenager Keane Mulready-Woods earlier this year.
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 shocked the nation in January.
His body parts were later discovered in two separate north Dublin locations.
Parts of his 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.
The young man's torso has never been recovered.
A garda spokesman said a man in his 40s was arrested this morning as part of the investigation into the bloody killing.
He said: "A man in his 40s has been arrested this morning, Tuesday 8th December 2020, as part of the investigation into the murder of Keane Mulready Woods.
"He is currently being detained under the provisions of Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007 at Drogheda Garda station. He can be held for up to seven days."
