A 17-year-old who was abducted and dismembered left a chilling final message for his mum before his death in a savage gangland murder.
The brutal slaying of Keane Mulready-Woods in 2020 sent shockwaves throughout Ireland. The teenager, caught up in a drug feud in the town of Drogheda, was lured to a house on 12 January where he was tortured and beheaded.
His limbs were thrown from a car in a sports bag onto a footpath in the town of Moatview. His head, hands and feet were later found in a burnt out car in Dublin.
Keane's murder sparked a series of revenge attacks - culminating in the murder of prime suspect Robbie Lawlor, who was gunned down as he collected a drug debt.
Before he disappeared, Keane called his mum, telling her he'd be home late and asking her to leave money out for a taxi. Keane, who was recruited as a drugs runner for a local gang, was under a curfew to be home before dark and had been abiding by the rules, according to the Irish Independent.
At the time of his death, he was on licence after being convicted of intimidating a local mum over the drug debts to the gang accumulated by her child.
Lawlor allegedly murdered Keane as he believed the teen was involved in the killing of his brother-in-law Richie Carberry at his house in November 2019.
Gardaí suspect Lawlor escalated to torturing the teenager, having initially claimed he would merely administer a "punishment beating" over a minor drug debt.
An insider told the Irish Sun: "Lawlor was obsessed with Mulready-Woods and was determined to take his life because he was convinced he played a major role in Carberry's death.
"He took his propensity for violence to another level when he dismembered the teenager's remains and then taunted his enemies about it."
