A TEENAGER whose severed head was found in a burnt-out car with his limbs stuffed in a sports bag nearby has been named.
Keane Mulready-Wood’s remains were found in a harrowing discovery in the Drumcondra area of Dublin, Ireland, this morning
Keane vanished from his hometown of Drogheda, Ireland, on Sunday and police believe his murder may be gang related.
The teen warned in an online video he would be kidnapped, murdered and his body dismembered.
Hours later the arms and limbs were discovered in a sports bag outside homes in Coolock, North Dublin.
The human remains were found in a burnt out car three miles away in the city’s Drumcondra district.
The Irish Sun revealed the teen was officially warned by police on January 5 that his life was under threat.
The teen could only be identified through his DNA records.
Officers had already obtained the lad’s DNA after he was convicted last month of intimidating the mother of a teenager who owed a drug debt to one of the feuding drug mobs.
He smashed the windows of her house before throwing a petrol bomb into it.
The teen — due to turn 18 next month — had also been linked to other petrol bomb attacks connected to the lethal turf war last year.
GANG TURF WAR
Investigators in Coolock, North Dublin and Drogheda are now working together on the gruesome murder and held a case conference yesterday.
They are also examining other missing persons’ cases and have urged people to come forward.
Officers are now trying to establish where the victim — who’s also understood to have been threatened on social media — was murdered.
One theory is that the victim may have been murdered outside the capital before his body parts were brought to Coolock.

Officers are also probing if the killers dumped the bag because of police activity in the area.
There was a huge police presence in the area on Monday night after another vehicle crashed into a patrol car.
It’s understood the suspects were involved in a robbery and were attempting to flee from the area.
