THREE men were being questioned by Limerick gardaí last night in connection with the murder of 26-year-old Thomas Moran who was shot dead in Southill on November 13.

His body was discovered in open ground at John Carew Park.

The men arrested in Southill are being held in Garda stations in Henry Street, Roxboro Road and Mayorstone. Two are in their 20s and a third is his 30s.

It’s speculated Mr Moran was shot dead by a local drug dealer.

The dealer had earlier refused him a heroin fix after Mr Moran attacked the house the dealer was in.
