Teen crime figure linked to hit-and-run killing

A teenager related to a leading Limerick feud family was believed to be in a black Mitsubishi Shogun SUV when it struck and killed Limerick boxer Kevin Sheehy yesterday . Gardaí last night said two males had been arrested and were being held in a Midlands garda station.

A well-placed garda source told the Irish Examiner last night that the search for the boy tracked his movements to an Irish port in the hours after the SUV was abandoned near the Gaelic Grounds. Gardaí have been in contact with British police as the manhunt was widened outside the jurisdiction.
