Drug trafficker suspected of ordering killings

GARDAÍ suspect a major drug trafficker put up money for the murder of the Corbally brothers after they gave his associate “a hiding” in April.

Detectives are also investigating the theory that this 36-year-old trafficker also wanted Paul and Kenneth Corbally dead in a bid to “clean out” the rival drug trafficking gang to which they were aligned.

The head of this gang was sentenced last month to a lengthy jail term after being caught with a massive haul of heroin.
