DNA tests fail to link suspect to decade-old crime

GARDA hopes of charging a suspect for a gangland murder in Waterford over ten years ago have been dashed after DNA tests failed to link him to the crime.

The 40-year-old man was arrested last week at Dublin Airport, more than 10 years after the murder of small-time drug dealer, Martin Nolan, in November 1999.

The suspect had fled the country two days after blood and brain tissue were found in Clondonnell Woods, near the Tipperary border.
