Irish police issue wanted notice for Jordanian Ahmad Al-Saqar as the probable murderer of American Jamey Carney in her home in Killarney. They believe Al-Saqar may already have made it back to Jordan, which has no extradition agreement with Ireland.
Irish police, the Gardaí, are currently trying to find «a person of interest», namely the Jordanian citizen Ahmad Al-Saqar, who had a romantic relationship with Carney before she died. The two are said to have met around a year and a half ago during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Ireland.
On Friday the Irish Mirror reported that Al-Saqar had previously had his asylum application rejected in Ireland, but that he had been allowed to remain in the country while he appealed the decision.
The Gardaí are reportedly believed to think that Al-Saqar has lived in Ireland for the past two years, and that he has in recent times been living together with Carney in her home in Killarney.
After Carney’s death Al-Saqar is said to have fled to Turkey. It is feared that he may already have reached his home country, Jordan, which has no extradition agreement with Ireland.
Lax handling of asylum applications has cost yet another life. Al-Saqar had travelled via France, and his life was not in danger. Now he has probably travelled back to Jordan.
But what the Irish police are concerned about is how Carney’s death may be used by the right. Since she is American, her death is attracting international attention.
Irish Times reported that the police are reportedly worried that the case, because Carney was American and the main suspect is from the Middle East, may be «exploited by the American far right and political actors intent on creating racial tensions in the Republic».
The most important thing in this case is therefore not that an asylum seeker has killed a person, but how the murder will be perceived, as well as the consequences of this.
This is how a woke police force thinks. It is the same mentality that the British police display, time and again.
