Sour deal may have led to murder

GARDAÍ investigating the murder of ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ underworld figure Niall Mulvihill suspect he may have been killed by local criminals over a deal gone wrong.

The 57-year-old "broker" who had connections with an Amsterdam-based Irish drug baron was gunned down during a pre-arranged meeting in Dublin's north inner city at 9.30pm on Thursday night.

He was sitting in his taxi at Spencer Dock Bridge when a masked gunman fired around five shots through the driver's widow, hitting him four times.
