[2] Mulready-Woods was tempted into petty crime in his mid teens by local criminals with promises of wealth and prestige.
[8] Further human remains, believed to be a head and hands, were found in a burnt-out car in Trinity Terrace, Drumcondra in the early hours of Wednesday 15 January.
[12] On Friday 17 January Gardaí confirmed that the partial remains found in the car had been identified as those of Keane Mulready-Woods.
[1] Gardaí are investigating links between the death of Keane Mulready-Woods and a criminal feud in Drogheda which has claimed three lives.
[13] Gardaí suspect that the killers intended to dump the remains in front of the homes of the leaders of the gang the teenager was associated with as a warning.
[14] Detectives working on the case have no cause of death to base their inquiry on as the fatal injury is believed to have been dealt to the torso, which was still missing as of February 2020.
[16] He also said "I hope that his death will be a warning to other young teenagers who are being groomed by the ruthless criminals; that the promise of money and gifts will inevitably end in tragedy".
[16] When the funeral cortege arrived, a young man broke off from the crowd outside the church and approached the media, telling them to leave.
[14] On 28 February 2020 a 50-year-old man was charged with impeding the apprehension or prosecution of another person in relation to the death of Keane Mulready-Woods.
[17][18] On 4 April 2020 Robbie Lawlor, aged 36, was shot dead around 11:50am outside a house in Etna Drive, Ardoyne in north Belfast.
[19][20][21] The man was originally from Dublin, but had lived in County Meath and was heavily involved in organised crime, including the Drogheda feud.
[19][20][21] He had been threatened by one faction in the Drogheda feud but was also at odds with a major Dublin criminal who is suspected of several murders including that of Alan Ryan.
[22] The shooting was condemned by Detective Sergeant Jason Murphy, as a murder, as a danger to the local community and due to the additional pressures caused by coronavirus pandemic.
[8] The presence of flip-flops in the bag of Keane Mulready-Woods remains dumped in Coolock was widely interpreted as a threat not to cross Lawlor.
[22] In October 2020, Gerard McKenna, a 50-year-old man from Drogheda was charged with impeding the prosecution or apprehension of another person in relation to the death of Keane Mulready-Woods.
[25] Two more men, both in their early 20s, were arrested in relation to his death on 10 December and detained in Dundalk and Mountjoy Garda stations.
[25] On 17 February 2021 a 29-year-old woman who was associated with Paul Crosby was arrested by Gardaí investigating the murder and dismemberment of a 17-year-old on 12 January 2020 in Drogheda.
[29] On 24 May 2021 two men charged with the murder of Keane Mulready-Woods were sent forward to face trial in the Special Criminal Court.
[30] Gerard McKenna of Rathmullen Park was jailed in March 2022 for four years for cleaning and removing evidence from his home.
[31] A car parked in a nearby lane also had evidence, including an axe with blood stains and a bone fragment.
