CCTV footage used in hunt for garda killers

Police on both sides of the border are using CCTV footage and witness statement to trace the movement of the car used by the killers of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe.

Gardaí believe the car found partially burnt out in a rural part of south Armagh was the getaway vehicle used by the gang and are awaiting results of forensic tests.

Experienced detectives still can’t understand why the gang used such extreme violence against a garda instead of injuring or incapacitating him — in a situation where he was not posing a threat and hadn’t drawn his weapon.
