Probe into drug seizure link to murder

GARDAÍ are investigating whether the latest gangland murder is linked to a number of drug seizures this year.

Sean Cloherty, 27, was shot at least five times at his home in Blakestown, west Dublin, on Tuesday evening. It is thought one of his children, a 17-month-old baby girl, was upstairs at the time of the attack, which happened at around 5pm.

His other child, aged 4, and his partner, were not in the house at the time.
