Notorious gang boss Cornelius Price appeared to have turned over a new leaf by becoming a ‘hard working man earning an honest living’ before his death, according to his close supporters.
Price, 41, who was suspected of being involved in at least six murders including that of tragic Willie Maughan and his pregnant partner Ana Varslavane, died from a brain disease in a Welsh hospital on Sunday. The stricken gang boss - who was behind much of the chaos in the lethal Drogheda feud that claimed four lives - fled to the UK in 2020 from his “enclave for criminality” fortified compound in Gormanston, Co Meath shortly after the gruesome murder and dismemberment of Drogheda teen Keane Mulready-Woods.
Price’s arch enemy, slain serial killer Robbie Lawlor, murdered and dismembered the teen in January 2020 and Price fled as there were threats on his own life. While in the UK, Price was facing a trial in the UK for his alleged part in a kidnap and blackmail plot.
