Gardaí extend detention of two in Clare shooting case

Two men held in connection with the murder of a 21-year-old man at a family wedding in Co. Clare have had their periods of detention extended.

Robert Sheehan was critically injured after the gun attack in the early hours of Sunday and he passed away at Limerick Regional Hospital yesterday.

Gardaí arrested two men in Cork in connection with his death and today at a special sitting of Ennis District Court, officers applied to have them detained in custody for a further 72 hours.

The application was granted by Judge Patrick Durkan and both men can now be held at Ennis and Shannon Garda Stations until Friday.
