Discovery of weapon yields lines of enquiry

Gardaí investigating the execution-style shooting of a man in Co Cork almost six years ago are following new lines of enquiry after identifying the murder weapon.

The significant breakthrough in the investigation in to David “Boogie” Brett’s murder in May 2007 prompted a renewed appeal for information on Crimecall on Monday night.

Inspector Tony Sugrue confirmed yesterday gardaí received information during a telephone call after the appeal which is now being followed up on.
