Two men will go on trial at the Special Criminal Court in April next year accused of the murder of teenager Keane Mulready Woods, whose dismembered body parts were found at three sites in Dublin and Drogheda. Paul Crosby (25) of Rathmullan Park, Drogheda, Co Louth and Gerard Cruise (47), with addresses in Dublin 1 and Rathmullan Park, are charged with the teen’s murder at a house in Rathmullan Park on 12 or 13 January 2020. Tony McGillicuddy BL for the Director of Public Prosecutions told Mr Justice Tony Hunt, presiding at the three-judge, non-jury court, that the trial is likely to take six weeks. Mr Justice Hunt set a trial date of April 25, 2022. The torso was discovered 14 months later, on 11 March, hidden in an overgrown ravine during an extensive search of waste ground at Rathmullan Park.
