Overview
- Gardaí opened a murder investigation after Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old US woman, was found dead at her Killarney home; a State Pathologist concluded she died by suffocation.
- Irish investigators established a six-hour window of interest and say the man they want to question left Killarney by bus, flew from Dublin via Istanbul and later reached his home country.
- RTÉ reports the man has been detained in Jordan and Garda headquarters has been informed though he has not been named or charged in Ireland.
- Gardaí have alerted Interpol, Europol and US authorities and the Justice Minister said officers will use policing and diplomatic channels to seek the suspect’s return despite legal hurdles.
- Irish media say the man’s asylum claim was refused and under appeal but Gardaí have not confirmed that detail; the US State Department is providing consular help to Carney’s family.
