Killer’s son jailed over violent robbery

A 20-year-old son of a convicted gangland murderer yesterday received a three-year prison sentence after telling three teen soccer fans that he would kill them.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys said that Anthony Moran also known as Rodney Stanners “is a danger to society” after imposing the three-year sentence, suspending the final 16 months.

During the robbery in May 2014, Moran held up a knife to the necks of the teens. He is the son of Limerick criminal David ‘Frog Eyes’ Stanners, 45, who was a key member of the McCarthy- Dundon gang before he was jailed for life for the murder of rival mobster Kieran Keane in January 2003.
