An illegal immigrant who fled Ireland after the murder of an American woman, Jamey Carney, has been arrested in Jordan. Carney, a 43-year-old New York native, was found dead in her home in Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. The illegal immigrant, who was described as a person of interest in the investigation, had been living in Ireland after being refused asylum and was appealing the decision.

Investigation and Arrest

The investigation into Carney’s murder led authorities to the illegal immigrant, who had traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, before returning to his native Jordan. Irish police confirmed that they were aware of the arrest, but did not identify the man or confirm his role in the investigation. The arrest was made by Jordan’s Public Security Directorate, and Irish officials were informed of the arrest on Monday.

The case has raised concerns about Ireland’s immigration policies and the potential risks associated with allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the country. The illegal immigrant had been living in state-run accommodation for asylum seekers in Killarney before becoming involved in a relationship with Carney. He had also expressed a desire to relocate to the United States and had told acquaintances that Carney was helping him pursue U.S. residency.

International Cooperation

The arrest of the illegal immigrant in Jordan highlights the importance of international cooperation in solving crimes. Irish police have been working with Jordanian authorities to investigate the murder, and the U.S. National Central Bureau (USNCB) will be monitoring the case due to Carney’s American citizenship. The FBI has also offered to assist Irish authorities in the investigation.
