Summary
Irish authorities have submitted a file to prosecutors recommending murder charges and are seeking an extradition warrant for the suspect in Jamey Carney’s killing.
Carney, a 43-year-old New York mother, was found beaten and suffocated in her Killarney home on July 7 after investigators say her partner fled Ireland on a last-minute flight to Istanbul and later reached Jordan.
The Director of Public Prosecutions is reviewing the evidence, and any effort to bring the suspect back could be complicated because Ireland has no formal extradition treaty with Jordan.
Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan said every diplomatic and judicial channel would be explored, while a Dublin councilor argued police lost time by not publicly identifying the person of interest before he left the country.
