Senator solves mystery of 100-year-old murder

A 100-year-oldurder has been solved by a senator who had a book on the subject launched last night by Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

If the Seanad is abolished, Senator John Gilroy (Lab) may pursue a career “writing on cold cases”.

The Cork-based politician spent years researching the murder of 31-year-old Sanotic Koniste, a Japanese man shot dead on the Clifton Lodge Estate in Athboy, Co Meath, on Jul 27, 1913.
