Evidence found in bin may relate to Croom murder

GARDAÍ refused to comment last night on speculation that there has been a major breakthrough in their investigation to track down the killer of Croom bachelor, Liam O’Donovan.

Sources in Croom said yesterday a knife and gloves had been found in a wheelie bin in the village and taken away by gardaí for forensic analyses.

Mr O’Donovan, aged 59, was stabbed to death at his home in St Sennan’s Terrace, early on Saturday morning.
