A garda spokesperson said: "One of the males arrested in connection with the murder of Keane Mulready Woods has been released from Balbriggan Garda station.

"A file will now be prepared and forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions."

It is understood Keane was abducted in the Ballsgrove area of Drogheda, Co Louth and taken to a house in Rathmullen Park where he was tortured, killed and cut apart.

The Narcos-style killers dumped his arms and legs in a holdall bag near a rival gangster’s home in Coolock, North Dublin on Monday night, January 13.

His head and hands were discovered in a burning car in Drumcondra two days later.

The youngster's funeral was held in the Holy Family Church in Ballsgrove, Drogheda two weeks ago.
