A Dublin man accused of disposing of the body parts of murdered teenager Keane Mulready Woods was granted legal aid by the Special Criminal Court this morning.
Stephen Carberry (46) of Sandymount Avenue, Dublin 4 appeared briefly to be served with formal notice that he will be tried before the three-judge, non-jury court.
He faces three charges in relation to the death of the 17-year-old who was murdered in a house in Drogheda, Co Louth, in January 2020. Mr Carberry will appear before the court again in October.
Keane Mulready-Woods was last seen alive in Drogheda on January 12, 2020.
The following day, some of the teenager's body parts were found in a sports bag in the Moatview area of Coolock in Dublin. Two days later, remains were found in a burning car in a laneway in the Drumcondra area.
His torso was discovered on March 11, 2020, hidden in an overgrown ravine during a search of waste-ground at Rathmullan Park in Drogheda, near where the teenager is believed to have been murdered.
The first charge alleges that Mr Carberry, between January 13 and January 15, 2020 at Trinity Terrace, Ballybough, Dublin 3 transported and disposed of the teenager's body parts, intending or being reckless as to whether such activity could enhance the ability of a criminal organisation or any of its members to carry out a serious offence.
The offence is contrary to S.72 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2006.
He is also accused of committing an act with the intention of impeding the apprehension or prosecution of Mr Mulready Woods' murderer and of setting fire to a Volvo V40 car for the benefit of a criminal organisation.
