Killer may have used back roads in getaway
The red Toyota Litace van was found burnt out on the outskirts of the city a few minutes after 41-year-old Gerard ‘Topper’ Staunton was killed with a single shotgun blast to the chest in front of his partner and her two young children.
Gardaí believe the gunman had been lying in wait in a cul-de-sac, a few yards from Mr Staunton’s rented home at Westlawn in Wilton last Wednesday.
