Pair jailed for disposal of Mulready Woods' remains

Difficult to envisage a more egregious way to interfere in the investigation of a murder, says judge

Keane Mulready Woods: Teenager was murdered in 2020. File picture.

Two criminals who showed "abhorrent inhumanity and disrespect" by helping dispose of the dismembered remains of murdered teenager Keane Mulready Woods in 2020 have each been sentenced to six years in prison by the Special Criminal Court.

One of the offenders, Stephen Carberry, had his sentence reduced  because as he was on bail when he moved the body parts, his prison terms must run consecutively. Ms Justice Karen O'Connor said she is required to consider the total impact of the combined sentences.
