Gardaí fear third murder in week not the last

Gardaí fear that there could be more violence after a third murder in seven days in north Dublin. Detectives are investigating if the spate of gangland killings is part of a murderous campaign by a rival gang or is part of an internal feud.

The man shot dead yesterday afternoon is an Iranian national who is suspected of being a hitman for a major organised crime gang based in the Finglas area. Hamid Sanambar, aged 41, was gunned down outside the house of Sean Little, who himself was found shot dead in north county Dublin late on Tuesday last week.
