Does't sound quite in reality.
I think he's round the bend and I still regard him as the only suspect

I have not followed this completely, but I have to say from my own perspective, if someone I was working for and in particular if I was living on their property got murdered in such a brutal way. I would absolutely be either freaking out or, depending how I got on with them completely distressed. This man is talking about becoming an author. I'd be worried that whoever murdered my landlord/employer/friend is still out there. I actually think I'd be uneasy living in the same place that this happened.

He is simply smirking at Mike's poor family. I sincerely hope the garda detectives working on this case are just waiting for forensics because if not it will be a horrendous injustice

Kelley, 54, is a suspect in the recent murder of a farmer in the southwest of Ireland who took him on as a farmhand. Mike Gaine, 56, who owned a farm outside the town of Kenmare, disappeared in March and was the subject of a search by police and hundreds of volunteers in County Kerry

If my opinion wasn't already firmly on the suspect being guilty well this article above solidified it .

There is very little demand for older lamb or sheep meat (mutton).

That's not necessarily true. At least in the UK, mutton has been growing in popularity over the past decade or so. You won't necessarily see it in supermarkets but it is often available in traditional butchers and halal ones serving the Muslim population. Indeed, most of the "meat" served in Pakistani or Bangladeshi restaurants in the UK is either mutton or goat rather than lamb.

Mutton is also available from meat-box companies, eg:

I notice that Michael’s case hasn’t been tagged as found deceased yet, though his body was found several months ago. I’ll see if I can report this to make the change.
