Man admits to helping in movement and disposal of teen's body parts

Glen Bride, aged 32 of Mount Olive Park, Kilbarrick, Dublin 5, has pleaded guilty before the Special Criminal Court to assisting in the movement and disposal of body parts belonging to murdered teenager Keane Mulready-Woods. The charge related to events on January 15, 2020, when Bride knowingly participated in transporting and disposing of remains with intent to obstruct the apprehension or prosecution of another person. Keane Mulready-Woods disappeared from Drogheda on January 12, 2020. His dismembered remains were subsequently discovered across multiple Dublin locations and in Rathmullan Park, County Louth, where he is believed to have been murdered. Sentencing has been scheduled for January 26. The Director of Public Prosecutions entered a nolle prosequi on two further charges against Bride. Previous convictions in this case include Paul Crosby, sentenced to ten years imprisonment in February 2023, and Gerard Cruise, who received seven-and-a-half years with six months suspended.
