Second Man Pleads Guilty in Keane Mulready Woods Case

A second man has pleaded guilty to aiding in the disposal of the dismembered body parts of murdered teenager Keane Mulready Woods. The remains of the 17-year-old were discovered in Dublin nearly six years ago, sparking a significant investigation into his death.

Stephen Carberry, aged 47, from Sandymount Avenue in Dublin, appeared before the non-jury Special Criminal Court today. He admitted to a charge of assisting an offender by helping to move and dispose of the body parts. The court heard that Carberry acted with knowledge or belief that another individual was guilty of the murder of Keane Mulready Woods or of another serious offence.

The timeframe for Carberry’s actions is specified as occurring between January 13, 2020, and January 15, 2020, both dates inclusive. His guilty plea indicates that he knowingly engaged in acts intended to impede the apprehension or prosecution of the suspected murderer.

This case has attracted significant media attention due to the gruesome nature of the crime and the age of the victim. The discovery of the dismembered remains raised serious concerns about violence among youth in Dublin and has prompted calls for greater focus on public safety.

The investigation into Keane Mulready Woods’ death remains ongoing, with law enforcement officials continuing to seek justice for the teenager and his family. Carberry’s admission marks a notable development in a case that has left the community reeling.

The Special Criminal Court has yet to schedule a date for sentencing, and the implications of this guilty plea are likely to reverberate through the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the case. The court’s decision will not only impact Carberry but also hold broader significance for the community grappling with the aftermath of this tragic event.
