Kean’s fiancee tied up in €100k jewel heist

GARDAÍ are following up reports that two vans were seen around the home of celebrity lawyer Gerald Kean and his fiancee Lisa Murphy in the days before a burglary at the property.

Mr Kean revealed that two engagement rings, necklaces, earrings and brooches worth “well over” €100,000 were stolen in the incident on Thursday evening during which Ms Murphy was roughed up, bound and left alone for two hours before he found her.

He also revealed that the valuables were not insured because building work under way at the house meant that not all security measures were in place at the time. Security cameras were not connected for the same reason.
