NY mother Jamey Carney's suspected murderer was in Turkey by time police launched search for 'person of interest'
Key Points:
- Ahmad Alsaqer, a 28-year-old asylum seeker, is the prime suspect in the murder of New York mother Jamey Carney in Ireland and was already in Turkey when police began searching for him.
- Alsaqer allegedly killed Carney at their Killarney home, then fled Dublin airport hours before her 13-year-old daughter found her suffocated and severely wounded.
- Police believe Alsaqer may attempt to travel through the Middle East to return to Jordan, and he had used his passport—returned to him during his asylum process—to leave Ireland.
- Carney and Alsaqer had recently started a relationship after meeting at an anti-Israeli protest, and his prior visits to her home may complicate evidence collection due to his DNA being present.
- Carney was politically active on social media, expressing pro-Palestinian views and opposition to ICE, and frequently posted photos with Alsaqer, who had left affectionate comments on her posts.
