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.
