People close to killer ‘may have heard him bragging’

Gardaí are appealing to people who heard a suspected killer talking, or even “bragging”, about murdering a father to come forward.

Thomas Farnan, aged 37, was shot dead at his home in Kilcronan Court, Clondalkin, west Dublin, just before midnight on April 25, 2016.

Gardaí believe the murder stemmed from some relatively minor issue, possibly linked to a verbal altercation the victim had with his killer days beforehand.
