Breakthrough in crime boss and plumber’s deaths

GARDAÍ made their first arrests yesterday in relation to a double murder when a young plumber was shot dead during the assassination of crime boss Martin ‘Marlo’ Hyland last year.

The arrests mark an important breakthrough in the investigation into the killing of Mr Hyland and innocent bystander Anthony Campbell. The pair were gunned down at the home of Mr Hyland’s niece in Finglas, north Dublin, last December.

Mr Campbell, 20, who was a plumber doing a job in the house at the time, was shot dead by the assassins to rule him out as a possible witness, it’s believed.
