Speaking yesterday evening, Deputy Garda Commissioner, Policing and Security, John Twomey said:
“An Garda Síochána is determined to bring those behind this shocking crime to justice.”
Gardaí are searching for the clothes Keane was wearing and have issued photographs of a similar coat, cap, hoodie and tracksuit bottoms.

Gardaí also believe that human remains found in a burning stolen car in Ballybough yesterday morning are those of Keane’s, however they are awaiting DNA confirmation.
The feud, which began over two years ago, has now escalated to an extreme level of violence and cost three lives including the life of a child.
