Significant breakthrough expected in Geoghegan murder case

SPECULATION intensified in Limerick last night that a major breakthrough has been made in the Shane Geoghegan murder investigation.

Vital new evidence, solid enough to bring charges, has been obtained by gardaí, according to reliable sources. The McCarthy-Dundon gang are the main suspects and mistook the well-known rugby player for a drugs importer linked to the Keane-Collopy gang.

Fifteen people — eight women and seven men — were still in custody having been arrested in a huge dawn swoop last Tuesday.
