Irish Justice Minister Jim O Callaghan expressed hope that police will be able to question a suspect detained in Jordan regarding the murder of Jamey Carney in Killarney, County Kerry. According to breakingnews.ie, Carney was found dead at a home in County Kerry on July 7, and police stated that a person of interest fled the country before her body was discovered. [1]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, 43 year old Carney was found dead at her home, and her former boyfriend Ahmed Al Saqar departed Ireland for Turkey hours before the discovery. Al Saqar was subsequently arrested in Jordan, where Irish police are seeking permission to interview him. [5]

According to breakingnews.ie, O Callaghan stated that innovative mechanisms exist for police to potentially speak with the suspect, citing strong relationships between An Garda Síochána and foreign law enforcement agencies. [1]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, Irish authorities are preparing a mutual assistance request to enable officers to travel to Jordan to conduct the interview. [5]
