Knives held to necks of football fans in robbery

A son of a convicted gangland murderer terrified teen soccer supporters in Shannon when he held a knife up to their necks during a daylight robbery.

Anthony Moran, aka Rodney Stanners, aged 20, is the son of notorious Limerick criminal David ‘Frog Eyes’ Stanners, who was jailed for life for the murder of Kieran Keane in January 2003.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Moran, of Delmege Park, Moyross, Limerick, pleaded guilty to robbing two 17-year-olds and one 16-year-old at an area known as the Black Path at Corrib Drive in Shannon on May 17, 2014.
