GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING A fatal shooting at a Dublin shopping centre last summer have arrested a third man for questioning, following two arrests in the Finglas area earlier today.

Karl Wynne died of his injuries in Tallaght Hospital on 19 July, seven weeks after he was shot at St Dominic’s Shopping Centre on 30 May.

The 45-year-old  is believed to have been shot in a gangland retribution killing.

Gardaí arrested two men in their 20s in Finglas this morning. The arrests were the first to be made in connection with the killing.

This afternoon, it was confirmed that a third man, aged 31, had also been detained. He was arrested in Laois.

All three are now being questioned under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act at Tallaght Garda Station.

    Looks like the Finglas lads did a bit of talking this morning.
    Any other people out there hoping that there is no knock on the door?

    Oldest trick in the book the Garda trying to divide and conquer.
    Most of these lads have been in and out I’d Garda stations all their life.
    They know the drill

    Gangland killers are very often killed themselves soon afterwards

    What my meaning was that it’s taken all of six months to arrest somebody for it. That’s six months of investigations that’d cost a lot of money to the state. And for what? More than likely the lads who shot him won’t live to see they’re 30th birthday

    You’re right John, the guards shouldn’t really investigate anything, sure it’ll probably all sort itself out over time.

    I’d rather they were hounded to the ends of the earth, and spent the next 20 years in the nick rather than walking around with targets on their backs endangering any poor unfortunates that might be in the vicinity whenever their lowlife enemies decide to take a potshot at them.
