Items may ID garda’s murderers

A child’s car seat and a mechanic’s hammer could hold the key to the identity of the gang who murdered Det Gda Adrian Donohoe.

Replicas of the items were placed on display by officers yesterday as they renewed an appeal for the public to help find the killers.

Crimestoppers has increased the reward on offer for information leading to the gang’s capture. A €50,000 reward is already in place from the Irish League of Credit Unions, but an undisclosed “substantial” sum from Crimestoppers is thought to double that amount.
