DNA tests may solve 23-year vanishing

The results of DNA tests are expected imminently on what could be the remains of Cork businessman who disappeared nearly 23 years ago.

Divers carrying out a routine exercise discovered the remains of a man in a car submerged in the River Blackwater at Fermoy last October.

The remains were found inside a Daihatsu Charade, which was the same type of car which William “Bill” Fennessy owned.
