The murder of Keane Mulready Woods has been described by Gardaí as a brutal, savage attack on a child.
The remains of the 17 year old were discovered in a sports bag in Coolock in Dublin on Monday.
It's too early to say whether the remains found in a burnt out car in Ballybough, Co Dublin yesterday also belong to Keane Mulready Woods, but Gardaí believe that is the case.
The murder is related to the ongoing gang feud in Drogheda, where the 17 year old was from.
Keane's life had recently been threatened and he went missing on Sunday night.
Chief Supt. Christy Mangan has condemned the murder.
A house in Rathmullan Park in Drogheda has been sealed off. Gardaí are are working to establish if its the scene of Keane's murder.
Gardaí are not sure what the exact motive is for this brutal crime. They're appealing to anyone who may have seen Keane after 6pm on Sunday evening to come forward.
When last seen he was wearing a hugo boss tracksuit and runners, a red and orange jacket and a gucci baseball cap.
