Search for witness to ecstasy death

GARDAÍ are still trying to trace a crucial witness as part of their investigation into the ecstasy-related death of a teenager.

Cork City Coroner’s Court was told yesterday that gardaí have yet to complete a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to the death of 17-year-old Jonathan Kiely in Cork in 2007.

Inspector Ger O’Mahony said investigating officers have to trace a crucial witness, understood to be female, before the file can be completed.
