Gardaí on the trail of man's killers
Sean Poland, from Blackwater, Ardnacrusha, Co Clare, had just returned home with his partner, Joanne Lyons, when a masked gang called to his home at 11.30pm. He was shot in the hallway and the gang burst into the sitting room where tied up the victim’s partner before making off with €1,000.
Gardaí believe robbery was the motive for the killing. The victim, described by family as a “popular and happy-go-lucky man who would not harm anyone”, worked as a bricklayer and part-time secondhand cars salesman.
