TV appeal boost for murder hunt

GARDAÍ investigating a double murder in Dublin earlier in this month were delighted by the response from a television appeal on Tuesday.

Detectives hunting the killers of Brian Downes and Edward Ward on October 5 said they are investigating a number of leads following their appeal on Crimecall.

Gardaí received a number of phone calls in relation to the movement of the motorbike used in the shooting, which happened at a garage run by Mr Downes on the Greenhills Road, Walkinstown, south Dublin.
