Drug dealer victim of professional hit: gardaí

CORK drug dealer David “Boogie” Brett who was shot dead on Monday night appears to have been the victim of a professional hit.

Garda sources believe he was lured to the secluded spot 7km from Ballydesmond on the pretence of a drugs deal before being shot in the head.

His death, likely to have been part of a feud between rival gangs, followed a long career in the drugs world where he was a noted figure.
