Listen Back: Treat Death of Kelly Lynch as homicide: retired PSNI detective. A retired PSNI detective believes the investigation into the discovery of a young woman; found dead in Monaghan almost two years ago; should upgrade to homicide.
The body of 23-year-old Kelly Lynch found in the Ulster Canal in Monaghan Town; on the morning of Sunday, March 17, 2024. An Garda Síochána later confirming that her death was not being treated as suspicious.
Since Kelly's death, her family have always suspected foul play. Moreover, the Lynch family believe there are people in the area who know what happened to Kelly on the night she was last seen alive.
However, her family have remained unconvinced. Moreover, in recent months they have commissioned a private forensic report. Furthermore, this report concludes the manner of death in the case is homicide.
Retired PSNI detective James Brannigan, who now leads up the Katie Trust, claims that the Garda investigation left basic questions unanswered.
He says more investigations have taken place into the peer review than there was when the initial discovery of Kelly's remains were made on St Patrick's Day in 2024.
Mr Brannigan says questions that have not been answered now need to be given to the Lynch family and he spoke in detail to Ronan Gargan on the Wider View yesterday.
