‘No evidence’ dissident republicans were behind double murder

SENIOR detectives have said there was no evidence to suggest dissident republicans were behind the double murder of two young cousins this week.

Reports circulated earlier yesterday that a violent Real IRA gang gunned down Glen Murphy and Mark Noonan because they allegedly hadn’t paid a drug tax to the outfit.

The gang, led by brothers, is known to have been levelling drug gangs across Dublin with a tax on their profits from dealing.
