Man quizzed over Dublin gangland killing

GARDAÍ intend to continue questioning a man in relation to the gangland murder of Aidan Byrne over the coming days.

The 29-year-old man is suspected of luring Byrne to his death in a planned murder at a local authority housing estate in Dublin’s north inner city on Saturday night. Gardaí link the murder to a violent inner city feud, which has claimed at least four lives since 2006.

Detectives believe the suspect drove a car carrying Byrne into Drumalee estate, off North Circular Road. He stopped the car at a cul-de-sac on Drumalee Avenue directly opposite a laneway at around 8.45pm.
