Gardaí hunt for lone gunman after ‘callous’ killing

GARDAÍ were last night hunting for a lone gunman after a leading boxing official was shot dead in front of his girlfriend following a row with another man.

John Mahon, from 24 St Bernard’s Place in Fermoy, Co Cork, died in the drive of his sister’s home after he was shot in an execution-style attack in the early hours of yesterday morning.

Gardaí said it was too early to speculate on a motive and appealed for witnesses to come forward.
