Irish police to engage with Jordanian force in murder investigation

The body of Jamey Carney was discovered at a property in Killarney, County Kerry, last week.

Gardaí (Irish police) were called to the Homeland housing estate in Killarney on Tuesday where Jamey Carney was pronounced dead

Irish police are set to engage with their Jordanian counterparts as part of a murder investigation, according to Ireland's justice minister.

Last Tuesday, gardaí (Irish police) said they responded to an incident at an address in Killarney, County Kerry, where a woman in her 40s was pronounced dead at the scene.

She was named locally as Jamey Carney, who was originally from New York but moved to the area about five years ago and lived with her daughter.

On Thursday, Gardaí said a man they were seeking to speak to about the murder had already left the jurisdiction.

Speaking to Irish broadcaster RTÉ , external Irish Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan said: "No matter where you are, the gardaí will seek to pursue you."
