Many suspects for murder of gangster Lynch

GARDAÍ are studying a long list of suspects in the murder of gangster David Lynch — a killing that also left a boy with gunshot wounds.

A 39-year-old father of four, Lynch was an armed robber and vicious bully with a string of convictions for violent offences and he had a steadily growing list of enemies, according to detectives.

He spent a number of terms in jail, including an eight-year sentence for two armed bank robberies with his uncle Frank Ward, aged 54, who was sentenced to life for a shooting in which he injured Dublin publican Charlie Chawke three years ago.
