Kieran Quilligan, a 47-year-old man from Cork city, was lured to a laneway near St Finbarr's Place on 1 September 2023 and beaten to death with a hammer-like weapon, his body later dumped in a ravine at Whitewell, Rostellan, in east Cork. His skeletal remains were found on 29 January 2024 by a cadaver dog, and a murder investigation was launched. Niall Long, 33, and Luke Taylor, 28, were arrested in February 2024 and charged with murder. A jury at the Central Criminal Court in Cork found both men guilty in October 2025, and they were sentenced to mandatory life imprisonment on 29 October 2025.
