Episode 139: The dark secrets of Paul Moody - the disgraced ex-garda convicted of coercive control

The killing of teenager Keane Mulready-Woods, whose body was dismembered and dumped as a message to rivals of gangland psycho Robbie Lawlor, was a seismic event in modern organised crime. It followed the fracturing of a major drug gang where a younger mob took on the older order for control of the drug trade in the town of Drogheda. The feud, which bubbled for months, eventually turned into all out war where the rule of law almost broke own completely. Killing Keane is a new five-part subscriber only podcast special for crimeworld.com. Nicola speaks with Eimear Rabbitte about the new series and stay tuned for a free episode. Hosted on Acast.
