Family of NY mom Jamey Carney recounts shock after murder in Ireland
The family of New York mother Jamey Carney, who was killed in her Ireland home, says hearing the devastating news was a shock and a nightmare. Carney, 43, moved to Ireland in 2021 with her daughter and was found with severe head wounds; an autopsy ruled suffocation as the cause of death. Police say her boyfriend Ahmad Alsaqer, a 28-year-old asylum seeker, is a person of significant interest and may have fled the country, with authorities suspecting he could be in Turkey. The couple reportedly met at an anti-Israel protest. Carney’s relatives urge that the tragedy not be used to fuel prejudice as investigators continue to pursue answers.
