Gardai have launched an investigation into remains exhumed at a graveyard in Annyalla. The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains (ICLVR) confirmed that the remains exhumed from a family grave in Annyalla in November are not those of one of The Disappeared, Joe Lynskey. The results of the DNA examination of the remains also eliminated them as being those of the family to whom the grave belongs to.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, An Garda Síochána confirmed that it has notified the local Coroner. Gardai also commenced inquiries to assist the local Coroner to determine the correct identification of the remains exhumed on the 26th November 2024, which will include advances in sciences including DNA. An Garda Síochána is providing no further comment at this time.
