The Michael Gaine murder investigation six months on - with Neil Michael

It’s been six months since Kenmare farmer Michael Gaine went
missing, and four since parts of his dismembered body were found
in a slurry tank.


There has been considerable criticism of the investigation given
that the slurry tank had previously been searched for his body.


A suspect in the investigation – American drifter Michael Kelley,
who had been living on the Gaine farm in an old farmhouse – was
arrested early on and released without charge. He is subject to a
deportation order after a failed asylum bid and is now believed
to be living in Tralee.


The family held a funeral for Mr Gaine in June of this year, his
ashes carried into Holy Cross Church in a sheepskin-lined basket,
a soft resting place for a man who was remembered as “soft and
loving, caring and affectionate, kind and considerate”.


Six months after Mr Gaine’s disappearance, Irish Examiner
Reporter Neil Michael went to Kenmare to find out whether people
there believe the person who killed him will ever be caught


Neil is the guest on today’s episode of The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy
Podcast.
