At the peak of the Drogheda gangland feud in January 2020, the public scrambled to understand why body parts had been left dumped in a sports bag in north Dublin.

The depraved attempt to use the body parts of a murdered teenager to send a gangland message was a deeply disturbing. And how did Keane Mulready-Woods become embroiled in a criminal network at such a young age?

This is the first part of our subscriber exclusive series on the gruesome and grotesque killing of Keane Mulready-Woods available now on crimeworld.com

The killing of teenager Keane Mulready-Woods, whose body was dismembered and dumped as a message to rivals of gangland psycho Robbie Lawlor, was a seismic event in modern organised crime.
It followed the fracturing of a major drug gang where a younger mob took on the older order for control of the drug trade in the town of Drogheda. The feud, which bubbled for months, eventually turned into all out war where the rule of law almost broke own completely.
Killing Keane is a new five-part subscriber only podcast special for crimeworld.com.

Nicola talks to Eimear Rabbitt about McGovern's plea.
