Garda\u00ed have renewed their appeal for information about the murder of a 20-year-old man who went missing 17 years ago.<\/p>\n
Paul \u201cFrank\u201d Byrne was last seen on July 15th, 2009, at Kilmartin Green in Tallaght, Dublin 24, when it was reported he left the estate in a 2000 registered wine-coloured Mitsubishi Carisma accompanied by other males.<\/p>\n
His mother reported him missing at Tallaght Garda station the next day. His remains were discovered in a wooded area by a forestry worker near Blessington, Co Wicklow, more than a year later on July 29th, 2010, and were identified through DNA testing.<\/p>\n
Five people have been arrested in connection with the investigation, but no charges were ever brought.<\/p>\n
In a statement, An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na said the Byrne family are \u201canxious\u201d for the investigation to come to a conclusion and to give them \u201dclosure”.<\/p>\n
The Garda has renewed its appeal to the public for assistance and information concerning Paul Byrne\u2019s disappearance and murder.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has \u201ccome into possession of information\u201d relevant to his murder since 2009, or has remembered information from the time, has been urged to come forward.<\/p>\n
Stressing that those who come forward would be treated in a \u201csensitive manner\u201d, the Garda said the passage of time may mean that relationships have changed and that individuals who have withheld information may now be willing to speak.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Blessington Garda station or the Garda confidential line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garda\u00ed have renewed their appeal for information about the murder of a 20-year-old man who went missing 17…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[615,1346,61,60,43,13356],"class_list":["post-551899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-dublin","tag-garda-siochana","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-tallaght"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
