The head was stolen in February but later recovered by gardaí after an investigation.
ST MICHAN’S CHURCH in Dublin has reopened the crypt that houses its mummies to the public today, four and a half months after the mummified head of the 800-year-old ‘Crusader’ was stolen from the underground vault.
As a result of an investigation by gardaí, both the head of the ‘Crusader’ and the second skull were recovered in March. Archdeacon of Dublin David Pierpoint told TheJournal.ie today that it’s a relief that “the Crusader is finally back in his resting place”. The response from the local community and gardaí was invaluable as it led to the eventual return of the missing remains, he said.
