Garda murder probe focuses on notoriously violent family

MEMBERS of a notoriously violent family were last night the focus of the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Hannan in Limerick.

Mr Hannan, aged 19, died from massive head injuries after his body was found at around 10.30am on Thursday, less than 100 yards from his family home in O’Malley Park, Southill.

A senior garda source yesterday dismissed reports that a hatchet had been found embedded in the dead man’s upper body.
