Cadaver dogs deployed in Tina Satchwell search

Cadaver dogs which have been used in searches for the ‘Disappeared’ in the North have been deployed as part of the massive Tina Satchwell search operation.

Ronnie, a highly-trained human cadaver dog, was yesterday scouring Mitchel’s Wood in Castlemartyr, Co Cork, with his handler, Mick Swindells, of Search Dogs UK, on day two of the huge garda-led search of the woods for evidence relating to the disappearance of Ms Satchwell, 45, from her home in Youghal, Co Cork, almost a year ago.

Mr Swindells confirmed that he and Ronnie are assisting in the operation but he declined to comment any further.
