Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan said false reports on social media are hindering the investigation
Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan said Keane's family are very distressed by the video and images and he asked people not to circulate the material.
Chief Supt Mangan said gardaí are gathering information and intelligence on what happened to Keane since he was last seen at Dominic's Bridge in Drogheda at 6pm last Sunday. He did not answer his phone or reply to messages after that. A considerable number of people are before the courts with strict bail conditions, Chief Supt Mangan said, but there are a lot of people in Drogheda who are prepared to stand up to criminals and gardaí are taking them on and bringing them through a judicial process.A number of videos have also been circulated of threats being made by individuals known to gardaí and Keane. One video purports to be footage of the child's murder.
Commissioner Harris visited Drogheda and Coolock Garda Stations and assured the investigation teams of the full support of the organisation. Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has said he spoke to Commissioner Harris again today to discuss the progress being made in the investigation and said he is satisfied that those responsible for the murder of the teenager will be brought to justice.
