Murder suspect died on stolen motorcycle as gardaí pursued

A DUBLIN man, who was the prime suspect in a 2003 murder investigation, was killed six months later when his motorcycle crashed during a high-speed garda pursuit.

An inquest in Dublin heard yesterday that Paul Boyd, aged 25, of Fairlawn Road, Finglas died after he lost control of his motorcycle in Clonsilla in the early hours of October 16, 2003.

Family and friends of Boyd had expressed concern that Garda vehicles were involved in a collision with the victim.
