A former top garda who led the Keane Mulready-Woods murder probe described the Drogheda feud as “one of the most difficult times in the history of the state”.
Retired Chief Supt Christy Mangan said the gruesome killing and dismemberment of the teen over three years ago was one of the worst crimes ever committed. But he hailed the town’s residents, who he insists played a key role in getting brazen thugs like Paul Crosby off the streets following a “terrifying” number of years.
Mangan’s comments come after Friday’s sentencing of crazed 27-year-old Crosby who was caged for 10 years.
