No foul play as murdered woman’s father found dead

THE father of a young woman who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend five years ago was found dead in his home late on Tuesday.

Foul play is not suspected in relation to the death of Peter Keaney, 47, who died at his house in the Elm Park area of Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

Mr Keaney was the father of Sheola Keaney, 19, who was strangled to death while returning to her home in Cobh, Co Cork, after a night out in July of 2006. She was missing for three days before her body was found under plastic sheeting in a lane.
