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

If you’re looking for a strange summer story, they don’t get much stranger than the one involving a former Maine man named Michael Kelley.

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:

Grass-Fed Mutton Archives

Grass-Fed Mutton - Sheep farmers generally agree that mutton is from sheep that are over two years old, where lamb is up to one year. The extra age of mutton gives it a dark colour with a characteristic flavour that is richer than lamb. Our grass-fed mutton is from ewes and wethers reared on...

Any update re this case

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.

Nice to see the irish government giving a murder suspect and illegal citizen a co council apartment, when people who are working and contributing to society in ireland are finding it difficult to find a home or are living in conditions not suitable for children such as hotel rooms

I read that he is applying for Irish citizenship! Life is crazy sometimes.

 

[su5ie]

What the irish government will seemingly allow even though he was already given a No pending futher information on his application prior to Mike's murder

Prehaps it might save a few lives if they were more stringent in their rules .

I could not just Swan on over to America or Canada or for that matter Australia and be housed in comfort while I await my green card . It annoys me we don't have stricter rules

Scotland- Kaura Taylor, 21,'missing' from Texas, US, found living w. African 'lost ancient tribe', 'Kingdom of Kubala', woodlands, Jedburgh, May,2025.
Also in this case although this is Scotland and not murder but trespassing/ squatting on unsuitable land. Unbelievable really
