Steve Collins’ life ‘still at risk’, top detective warns

A senior detective involved in the Roy Collins murder investigation, warned yesterday that the life of his father, Steve Collins — the intended victim — remains under threat.

Sean Lynch, who spent 15 years of his 31 career as a garda in the detective branch in Limerick said the Dundon gang will continue to target Mr Collins from prison, unless their access to mobile phones is cut off. If Mr Collins snr was targeted, it would render this week’s verdict, which found Wayne Dundon, 36, of Lenihan Avenue, Prospect, Limerick and Nathan Killeen, 24, of Hyde Road, Prospect, Limerick guilty of Mr Collins jnr’s murder, “useless”.

Wayne Dundon organised the murder of Roy Collins from prison, using mobile phones, his trial at the Special Criminal Court heard.
