Gardaí probe gangland killing in Spain

Gardaí were yesterday liaising with their counterparts in Spain to try to establish a motive and who was responsible for the shooting of notorious Dublin gangland figure Gerard Kavanagh in a bar in Marbella.

The 43 year-old convicted drug dealer was hit up to nine times, in the arms, body and head, as he tried to flee through a back door from two gunmen who had burst into Harmon’s Irish bar in Elviria, just after 4pm Irish time on Saturday.

Witnesses said his attackers were wearing black balaclavas and black clothing when they struck.
