The decision to arrest the man followed an extensive review of the file on Ms Satchwell’s disappearance by detectives from the Cork North and West Division which began in November 2021 and saw them forensically examine the detailed file. The decision to upgrade the case to a murder investigation and provide the necessary funds meant that in August, garda were able to draw an investigation plan to enable them to both arrest the suspect and secure his home as a crime scene to allow a major search operation take place.
According to a garda source, the operation, in addition to examining both the adjacent garden and the slabbed back yard, will also involve searching a shed at the rear of the house as well as a detailed examination of the house which has undergone some alteration since Ms Satchwell’s disappearance.
