Hunt for killers in unsolved Cork gangland killings continues

WHILE six gangland killings in Cork remain unsolved, gardaí are continuing to pursue the perpetrators and, in one case have lodged a file with the DPP, are “consolidating” another, and hoping for a breakthrough in a third.

There have been 42 homicides in the city and county in the past five years and gardaí have had a lot of success in locking up the killers.

However, since the first acknowledged gangland killing took place in Cork in Apr 1995, the murders of drug dealers have proved far more difficult to crack.
