Gangland link as man is murdered

GARDAÍ in Dublin have launched a murder inquiry after a man’s body was discovered at the side of the road in Ballymun yesterday in what is suspected to be the city’s latest gangland shooting.

Detectives from Finglas were altered to the location of the body at St Margaret’s Road shortly after midday. It is believed the victim had suffered a single shotgun wound to the back of the head.

Although gardaí had still to formally identify the body last evening, it is believed the dead man came from the Ballymun area. He was described as being in his early 30s of stocky build with a shaven head.
