Gardaí hope killers left clues after Kildare woods murder

Gardaí hope the sloppiness of killers in concealing the body of a young man may provide forensic evidence linking them to the crime.

Detectives are confident they know the people behind the murder of Philip Finnegan, whose body was found in a shallow grave in Kildare woodland at the weekend.

The 24-year-old dad, who was reported missing on August 10, was found by a dog walker in Rahin Woods near Carbury on Friday night.
