Shooting may be retaliation for arson attack, Garda witness tells court

A senior Garda witness has told the murder trial of a Limerick man that he suspected the 20-year-old shot dead a carpenter in retaliation for an arson attack on his mother's van.

Detective Garda David Nolan told the Central Criminal Court that he arrested Kenneth Collopy at his family home in Ballysimon, Limerick, on the same night as 25-year-old Daniel Fitzgerald was killed.
