More bloodshed feared after feud death

Gardaí fear there may be further bloodshed over the Christmas period in the ongoing Kinahan-Hutch crime feud in the wake of the murder of Noel Kirwan on Thursday night.

The 11th killing of the feud, which began in September 2014, has sparked outrage and waves of condemnation, but officers fear it will not be the last.

The Irish Examiner understands that gardaí believe Mr Kirwan was targeted by the Kinahan cartel.
