Summary

  • A postmortem found 43-year-old Jamey Carney died from suffocation, not the head injuries investigators first thought had killed her in Killarney.
  • Police believe suspect Ahmad Alsaqer, 28, fled on an early-morning bus to Dublin Airport and boarded a flight to Turkey before Carney’s body was discovered by her 13-year-old daughter.
  • Irish authorities have asked Europol and Interpol to trace whether he stayed in Turkey or traveled onward, while reviewing CCTV, phone records and forensic evidence from Carney’s home.
  • The case has shaken Killarney, where Carney had lived since 2021, prompting local support for her daughter and renewed political warnings that violence against women in Ireland has become an epidemic.
