Two men still in custody in relation to Limerick shooting

Two men remain in Garda custody in Limerick this morning in connection with the murder of Roy Collins in the city last week.

The 35-year-old father-of-two, who was laid to rest yesterday, was shot dead at an amusement arcade at the Roxboro Shopping Centre last Thursday.

He is believed to have been killed by one of Limerick's notorious drugs gangs because a relative of his gave evidence against a leading crime figure.

The two men in custody were arrested shortly after the shooting and gardaí are expected in court today to seek an extension in their detention period.
