THE butchered torso of a murdered teen could have been sent to a drug baron in a gruesome Narcos-style killing, according to reports.
Keane Mulready-Woods, 17, was decapitated and his severed head discovered in a burning Volvo in Dublin on January 15.
Gang thugs had sliced off his limbs and dumped them in a sports bag two days earlier – with the teenager's mutilated torso still missing.
But the missing body part could have been sent as a grisly threat to a crime boss as part of an escalating drugs feud in Dublin, Irish Daily Star reports.
The bloody warning means the mystery over Keane's death may never be solved as the gangster would reportedly not want to alert police.
And in another brutal blow to the murder probe, a cause of death might not be revealed until the missing torso is recovered.
A source told the newspaper: "There is little doubt the torso will ever be recovered and there is also the possibility the torso was disposed of in a deliberate attempt to hamper the investigation.
"The torso is required for pathologists to determine the cause of death, whether he was murdered or the manner in which he died. So no cause of death has yet been determined.”
Detectives believe Keane was tortured and murdered as part of a drugs war between crews based in Drogheda, a town north of Dublin.
GANGLAND KILLING
No arrests have yet been made over the grisly murder but a suspect in the investigation is in custody over a separate offence.
A house in the Rathmullen Park estate has also been combed by cops and forensically examined.
Tensions are now continuing rise between the two feuding gangs locked in a bloody drugs war.
Keane was laid to rest last week as hundreds of friends gathered in the Church of the Holy Family in Ballsgrove, Drogheda.
Fr Phil Gaffney called on gangsters to end the bloody feud as he presided over the emotional service, saying: “End this now”.
He added: "Along with that there has to be great anger and even sadness, great fear and pain perhaps, at the thought that we live in a society where certain people took upon themselves to play God with regard to the life of Keane Mulready-Woods.
“They took upon themselves to be judge and jury, and executioner.
"What arrogance. What appalling wickedness and evil."
