Chilling image shows mob boss just feet from slain teen Keane Mulready-Woods

A chilling image has emerged of Drogheda mob boss Keith Boylan - just feet from the teen his psychopathic ally would later butcher. Our exclusive image shows 17-year-old Keane Mulready-Woods standing outside Drogheda District Court in the summer of 2019. The teen was before the court on a threat to damage a house, leaving the occupants in fear. Terrifyingly he threatened the occupants saying: "I will burn them alive in their beds." Just feet away is head of the Boylan Organised Crime Group 30-year-old Keith Boylan - who was named in court last week by a garda witness in a money laundering case as head of the crime group of violent thugs. The thugs brought terror onto the streets of Drogheda during the feud that claimed four lives and left many others injured in horror shooting attacks. Several other associates of Boylan were in his company that day outside court. A mere seven months after this image was taken, Keane - who was associated with the Price/Maguire faction, headed by paralysed mob boss Owen Maguire - was lured to his death, murdered and dismembered by slain serial killer Robbie Lawlor in January 2020 in a brutal murder that shocked the nation. Keane's limbs were thrown from a car in a sports bag onto a footpath in Coolock's Moatview. His head, hands and feet were found in a burnt out car in Dublin's Drumcondra days later. Keane's murder and dismemberment marked a new shocking and sinister low in the gangland war in Drogheda between associates linked to mobster Owen Maguire and the Boylan Organised Crime Group.

Lawlor - who was shot dead in Belfast in April 2020 - was aligned with the Boylan Organised Crime Group and is suspected of the horror murder and dismemberment of Keane in January 2020. He was also a sworn enemy of the now deceased leader of the Price-Maguire OCG, Cornelius Price and was a brother-in-law of drug trafficker Richie Carberry. Carberry was shot dead in the feud in November 2019. Associates of Owen Maguire are suspected of that killing. Another close associate of Boylan - criminal Paul Crosby, 29, who is the main protagonist in the dangerous feud, is currently serving a ten year jail term for facilitating the murder of Keane, along with Gerard 'Rocky' Cruise who is serving seven years for the same offence. Another exclusive image shows Keith Boylan and his brother Josh, 26, who was named in court by a garda witness in a money laundering case as 'second in command of the Boylan Organised Crime Group' in the company of Crosby and another associate who cannot be identified. That picture was taken during the height of the feud in 2019. Keith, of Moneymore in Drogheda was just 22 years of age when he became the alleged leader of the Boylan Organised Crime Group while his younger brother Josh was just 18 years old when he became "second in command."

Earlier the Irish Mirror revealed psychotic Lawlor is alleged to have shouted these four chilling words - 'These are from Keith' when he shot mob boss Owen Maguire on behalf of the Boylan Organised Crime Group - leaving the gangster paralysed and fueling the vicious Drogheda feud in July 2018. The details of that shooting and what Lawlor is alleged to have said were able to be revealed after the Boylan brothers were identified in court as leaders of the Boylan Organised Crime Group. The brothers have also been linked by gardai to the attempted murders of rival mob boss Owen Maguire and his brother Brendan. In an affidavit lodged in court during the CAB case in 2022 against the Maguires, an investigating officer stated "The person who shot Owen Maguire is alleged to have said words similar to "these are from Keith." "As a result of this shooting, Mr Owen Maguire remains paralysed from the chest down. It is believed that Mr Robbie Lawlor was the person who shot Owen Maguire. The investigating officer described Lawlor "as an associate of Keith Boylan, who is the leading member of the Boylan OCG, a rival drugs gang operating in Drogheda and wider area. "I believe that this was the start of the vicious feud between the Price-Maguire OCG and the Boylan OCG," the investigating officer stated in the affidavit. The investigating officer also stated that when Owen's brother Brendan was shot on February 26, 2019 "Gardai believe that this attempt to murder Brendan Maguire was carried out by members of the Boylan OCG." Robbie Lawlor Brendan had left Gym Plus in the M1 Retail Park in Drogheda in the company of two associates. The investigating officer detailed that "All three men got into a car with Brendan Maguire seated in the front passenger seat. "The vehicle was then approached by a gunman who fired into the vehicle directly at Brendan Maguire. He was struck in the upper body and arms." Brendan was then driven at speed to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital where he was admitted and received emergency treatment and survived. Gardai suspect the Boylan Organised Crime Group are still supplying the town with drugs from the brothers' overseas bases in Dubai and Thailand. The brothers fled overseas following the murder and dismemberment of Keane due to threats on their lives.
