Gardaí seek extradition of main suspect in murder of Jamey Carney

Jamey Carney, a 43-year-old woman, was murdered at her home on the Muckross Road in Killarney, and her body was found there on July 7th. Her boyfriend, Ahmed Al-Saqar, travelled to Jordan via Dublin and Istanbul in the hours after the killing and before the body was found, and he is now in custody in Jordan. Gardaí sent a file to the DPP recommending that Al-Saqar be charged with murder, and the DPP must decide whether there is enough evidence to prosecute. As of August 20, Gardaí were seeking an extradition warrant, though there is no bilateral extradition treaty between Jordan and Ireland and sources say the warrant may be difficult to obtain.
