Laneway may have been blocked to allow attacker kill victim, say gardaí

GARDAÍ believe a father of two brutally stabbed to death in a Dublin laneway was murdered after his 4x4 was blocked in by his attacker.

The 42-year-old man, named locally as Paul Keegan, was stabbed up to four times around his upper body.

A murder hunt was launched yesterday as forensic gardaí sealed off the bloody scene in a narrow lane, behind a row of houses at Beechfield Road, Walkinstown, Dublin.
