Gardaí seek motive for double murder

GARDAÍ are “mystified” as to why two “decent enough” young men were gunned down by a professional hit team at a garage.

Detectives said they had no motive yet for the double murder of 20-year-old Glen Murphy and 23-year-old Mark Noonan as they went to make a “simple purchase” of cigarettes at a filling station late on Tuesday night.

Garda sources said the shooting was “clinical” and “well executed” by a gang of at least two armed men and a driver, who completed the hit in 30 seconds.
