Potential breakthrough in unsolved murder of dad found covered in acid in skip
Gardai have uncovered a potential major breakthrough in the unsolved murder of a man whose remains were found coated in acid in a skip.
READ MORE: Grieving Irish mum opens up about brutal murder of tragic son Mark Burke, whose body parts were found in a Dublin skip “We don’t know if it was in the skip then or in a lorry.” Describing the development as a bombshell, Noel said this information could finally blow open the case, which has remained unsolved all this time. “It could be a breakthrough. When I was told that it was like a grenade going off. It came as a huge shock".
Gardai and Noel say his son was never involved in any serious criminality - and any motive for his murder is still not known. The tragic homeless man’s face, jaw, teeth, hands and internal organs have never been recovered - and a form of acid was found on the remains uncovered at the recycling plant.
In an appeal directly to those who are behind Mark’s murder he said: “Come forward. If they don’t contact the guards contact the family.” In the past 10 years detectives have followed over 600 lines of inquiry and taken over 500 statements in relation to the death of Mark Burke. They also searched through thousands of tonnes of waste and examined hundreds of skips. Speaking last year, former Chief Superintendent Christy Mangan said he believes “more than one person” could have been involved in the murder and cover-up.
