Gardaí confirm remains found on Kerry farm identified as Mike Gaine
A garda spokesperson said they continue to appeal to the public for assistance in this investigation Gardaí have confirmed that the remains found on a Kerry farm are that of missing man Mike Gaine. A garda spokesperson said they continue to appeal to the public for assistance in this investigation. 'Human remains found at farmland at Carrig East, Kenmare have been identified as being the remains of Michael Gaine,' they said. 'The Garda investigation team can be contacted at Killarney Garda Station on 064 667 1160, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or speak with any member of An Garda Síochána.' It comes as the Sunday Independent revealed that the man arrested on suspicion of the farmer's murder is the subject of a deportation notification. The man, who describes himself as an 'asylum-seeker', was officially notified some time ago. Aged in his 50s, he was arrested and released without charge last week in connection with the investigation into the killing of the missing 56-year-old Kerry farmer over two months ago. He denies any involvement and is free to leave Ireland if he wishes. Gardaí cannot re-arrest him unless new evidence comes to light. A source stressed this weekend that an 'ongoing appeal' for information remains in place and gardaí are still seeking the public's assistance. Another source said 'very unhelpful and incorrect speculation and innuendo' surrounding the case and on social media were becoming an issue. Theories that Mr Gaine's killing was linked to organised crime, including a drugs ring, have been discounted as incorrect. 'There are a lot of wild rumours out there being repeated on social media that are completely untrue and are no doubt deeply upsetting to Mike Gaine's family,' a source said. Meanwhile, the type of implement used to dismember Mr Gaine's body before it was disposed of in a slurry tank in his farmyard is expected to be revealed to gardaí in a final forensic report, due in the coming days. A source linked to the investigation acknowledged that, at present, there is an 'absence of evidence' to directly link any person to the murder. News in 90 Seconds - May 25th 2025
