Leading criminal set for charge on gangland murder

A LEADING Dublin criminal is expected to be charged today with the murder of a drug dealer whose death is at the centre of a bloody gangland feud.

The murder of Declan Gavin four years ago has led to at least two other murders, the latest on Wednesday when John Roche was gunned down in Dublin’s south inner city.

Roche, 25, from Crumlin, south west Dublin, was a senior member of the gang suspected of killing Gavin in August 2001.
