Killer ‘may have lain in wait’

GARDAÍ are examining the possibility that a 36-year-old man gunned down in the hallway of his house may have been the victim of a gangland hitman.

It is believed the victim, named locally as Darren Falsey, was known to gardaí and was involved in the drugs trade.

He was shot a number of times, probably with a shotgun, although gardaí are awaiting ballistic tests to confirm this, at his home in Carrigaline, Co Cork, sometime between 2pm–3pm yesterday.
