Algarve murder suspect fears for own life

THE sole foreign member of an Irish gang suspected of murdering a Cork drug dealer in Portugal and dumping his body in a fridge has told police he will end up like the deceased if he gives evidence against the other members.

The man, who is from Portugal but carries a British passport, was arrested with four Irishmen last Thursday after police stormed an apartment in the Algarve and discovered the body of a man in a large freezer.

The deceased, later named as Michael "Danser" Ahern, could only be identified from his fingerprints.
