Pair pleaded guilty to assisting in ‘disgraceful and inhuman’ murder of Drogheda teenager
Cruise with addresses in Drogheda and Lower Sherrard Street, Dublin 1, pleaded guilty last year to a charge that, with knowledge of the existence of a criminal organisation, he facilitated the murder of Keane Mulready-Woods at Rathmullan Park, Drogheda, Co Louth, between the dates of January 11th and January 13th, 2020, contrary to Section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006.Keane Mulready-Woods , was last seen alive in Drogheda on January 12th, 2020.
Mr Justice Hunt said that the chief suspect for the murder was Robert Lawlor, a criminal of “significant notoriety and linked to several murders” who was heavily involved in a feud between rival criminal gangs in Drogheda. Such gangs, the judge said, are the “scourge of the localities concerned and are a matter of nationwide concern”.Mr Justice Hunt said that both Crosby and Cruise “must have had some knowledge of the capacities of the person they were assisting”.
Mr Justice Hunt said that Crosby was “instrumental in procuring the attendance of Master Mulready-Woods”. Both men, the judge said, lent assistance to Lawlor before, during and after the crime and did so “presumably knowing this man had significant criminal capacity”.
