Homemade knives, a bag full of Sim cards, and another bag stuffed with burner phones were found in the former Kerry home of suspected Sinaloa cartel drug trafficker Morris O’Shea Salazar when he moved out.

Two knives, or ‘shanks’, were made from 1in blades taped to toothbrushes. Another was made from a blade attached to a screwdriver. The knives were found in a bag in the attic when the house was being cleared out.
