Gardaí test three AK47s seized in Regency Hotel shooting breakthrough

Gardaí believe they have made a major breakthrough in the investigation into the Regency Hotel murder of gang boss David Byrne.

They arrested a known dissident on Wednesday night and seized three AK47s, similar to the ones used by gunmen dressed as gardaí at the north Dublin hotel on February 4.

Crumlin gang figure David Byrne, a ‘lieutenant’ in the Kinahan crime cartel, was shot dead in the attack.
