The gangland murder of man in Dublin yesterday has been described as a matter of “great concern”, by Minister for Justice Chalie Flanagan., was Dublin’s third gangland murder victim in eight days. He was shot dead when he called to the family home of a man killed last week to sympathise with that man’s next of kin. He was gunned down on Kilbarron Avenue, Coolock, north Dublin, at about 3.30pm on Tuesday.
Mr Flanagan this morning said that he has spoken with senior gardai in the wake of the killings and that “I’m satisfied that resources they are deploying to the area will be such as to bring the killers to justice.” “I agree with the gardai that anyone in the area with information should come forward and provide that information to an garda siochana. That evidence will be required. I’m satisfied that there will be a relentless pursuit on the part of the gardai to bring these killers to justice.
Mr Sanambar had visited the scene of Mr Little’s murder last week. The 42-year-old was regarded by the Garda as a violent gang member who had previously been paid to carry out murders on behalf of an organised crime gang in Dublin. Gardaí believe he was likely shot by his own associates – a drugs gang based in Finglas, north Dublin.
