Human remains found in Coolock and Drumcondra on 13 and 15 January 2020 were confimed by Gardaí to be his by 17 January. His murder was part of the Drogheda feud. The presence of flip-flops in the bag of Keane Mulready-Woods remains dumped in Coolock was widely interpreted as a threat not to cross Lawlor. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said on 17 January 2020 that he wanted to set up a task force to tackle crime in Drogheda similar to one set up to tackle crime in North inner city Dublin. Drogheda Mayor Paul Bell organised a rally for 25 January. The mayor said that the protest was against gang feuding and crime that had affected the town for the previous two years as well as asking those responsible for the death of Keane Mulready-Woods to reveal the location of where the rest of Keane Mulready-Woods remains were. He also called for new legislation and new powers for Gardaí as well as extra resources. He also criticised those involved in taking illicit drugs as they contributed to the problems caused by the gangs. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, Labour Party leader Brendan Howlin, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín attended. Louise Mahoney, director of addiction treatment service the Red Door Project, called for more resources and long-term solutions. A funeral for Keane Mulready-Woods was held on Thursday 13 February 2020 at Holy Family Church, Ballsgrove, Drogheda. On 4 April 2020 a man in his 30s was shot around 11:50am outside a house in Etna Drive, Ardoyne in north Belfast. He was suspected of ordering the murder and dismembering of Keane Mulready-Woods. The man was originally from Dublin, but had lived in County Meath and was heavily involved in organised crime, including the Drogheda feud. He had been threatened by one faction in the Drogheda feud but was also at odds with a major Dublin criminal who is suspected of several murders including that of Alan Ryan. Three men suspected of the murder were arrested and questioned by the PSNI at Musgrave police station. The shooting was condemned by Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy, as a murder, as a danger to the local community and due to the additional pressures caused by coronavirus pandemic. The shooting was also condemned by Minister for Justice Naomi Long and Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly.
