I can't remember if I have commented before and compared this with the Ashley Dighton murder.

"Feared mobster Cornelius Price is planning to return to Ireland within days after the murder of his arch enemy Robbie Lawlor in Belfast at the weekend, it can be revealed.

Gardai are braced for the return of a "triumphant" Price who is said to be "delighted" that a video of him celebrating Lawlor's death went viral on YouTube.

Price left Ireland after the murder of the grisly murder of Keane Mulready-Woods (17) in January."

"In a video filmed on Saturday, the 38-year-old says: "Cheers to Robbie Lawlor, rest in peace. He's not even meant to rest in peace but fair play to you. There you go boy."

Youtube video:

Is there a thread on the Robbie Lawlor case? He was killed 5 years ago. Two were charged in Dec 2020. But the case has still not made it to trial yet. Why is it taking so long?

Chilling last message from boy, 17, tortured and hacked to death in gang killing

The savage murder of Keane Mulready-Woods in 2020 shocked Ireland and was the culmination of a brutal feud between two drug gangs who plumbed new depths of depravity

www.mirror.co.uk

A 17-year-old boy who was abducted and dismembered left a chilling final message for his mum before his death in a brutal gangland killing.

The savage murder of Keane Mulready-Woods in 2020 shocked Ireland and shook the nation to its core. The teen, caught up in a drug feud in the town of Drogheda, was lured to a house on January 12 where he was tortured and beheaded. His limbs were thrown from a car in a sports bag onto a footpath in the town of Moatview. His head, hands and feet were then found in a burnt out car in Dublin days later. Keane’s killing sparked a series of revenge attacks – culminating in the murder of prime suspect Robbie Lawlor, who was gunned down as he collected a drug debt.


Before he went missing, Keane called his mum, telling her he’d be home late and asking her to leave money out for a taxi. Keane, who was recruited as a drugs runner for a local gang, was under a curfew to be home before dark and had been obeying the rules, the Irish Independent reported.''

'In a victim impact statement read out on behalf of Keane’s heartbroken mum Elizabeth, she said: “No one could imagine the darkness and sadistic evil in our country I can hear him calling ‘Mam, Mam’ - and the haunting nightmares live forever with us.'
