Man wanted in connection with murder arrested in Jordan
Jordanian police detained the 28-year-old boyfriend of Jamey Carney, and Irish officials said no extradition request has been made.
- Jordanian authorities arrested Ahmed Al-Saqar, boyfriend of murdered US woman Jamey Carney, in his home country. Irish officials confirmed the detention on Monday, though no formal extradition request has been issued.
- Ms. Carney, a 43-year-old mother, was found dead in her Killarney home on Tuesday, July 7, when her daughter discovered the body. Al-Saqar fled Ireland via Dublin Airport that morning before investigators identified him as a suspect.
- A failed asylum seeker, Al-Saqar is described by investigators as a 'person of significant interest.' The couple met at a protest, and he traveled to Al-Husn, 65km north of Amman, after landing in Turkey.
- Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan acknowledged Ireland lacks an extradition treaty with Jordan, complicating the case. Yet authorities are 'engaging intensively' with international counterparts, and O'Callaghan pledged: 'No matter where you are, the gardaí will seek to pursue you.'
- Before an extradition request is possible, gardaí must complete their investigation and secure charges from the Director of Public Prosecutions. The suspect can reportedly be held in Jordan without charge for months, allowing time for the case to develop.
