Gardaí following hundreds of leads in Quinn inquiry

Gardaí say they are following more than 1,000 lines of inquiry in their investigation into the murder of south Armagh man Paul Quinn in October.

The 21-year-old was beaten to death in a paramilitary-style attack after being lured to a remote farmhouse in Co Monaghan.

His family is blaming members of the IRA for the killing, but Sinn Féin has claimed the incident arose from a feud between criminals.

Speaking today, superintendent Karl Heller said Gardaí were determined to bring the perpetrators to justice.

He said Gardaí were liaising closely with the PSNI and more than 400 witness statements have been taken as part of a well-resourced, professional and thorough investigation.
