A 36-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Northern Ireland in connection with the Belfast murder of Dublin criminal Robbie Lawlor.
Lawlor (36) from Coolock was shot dead by what the PSNI believe was a lone gunman outside a house in Etna Drive in Belfast on Saturday.
This morning the PSNI has said that a 36-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Four other arrests have been made previously in connection with the killing.
Lawlor had dozens of previous convictions and it’s understood he’d been warned by gardaí his life was in danger. He had been a suspect in the murder of teenager Keane Mulready Woods.
A number of properties in west Belfast and one in Crumlin have also searched by police investigating the murder.
He was killed on Saturday morning in the Ardoyne area at around 11.50am and police have sought to establish what he was doing there before he was killed
“I do not believe that Robbie was in the Ardoyne yesterday by accident. I believe he had some reason to be there and key lines of enquiry for me at this stage are to establish why he was there and what his connection to the address is,” Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy said over the weekend.

When it comes to money, insurance companies will use any excuse they can find not to pay. Absolutely despicable.
Insurance companies the world over spit lies that insurance fraud is out of control, we see it here with adverts asking people to rat on their neighbours and we know that they’ll deny or underpay claims for spurious reasons.
You are right a parked van became a run away vehicle and ploughed into the front of my house last April causing over 13, 000 euros in damage yet I still haven’t received a cent to repair my house, I can’t wait to screw them in court.

i hope you’re going to to a shrink for counselling because of the stress
We were in the front room at the time of the accident and showered with glass. Frightened the crap out of us . But the worst part was trying to pluck up the courage to look under the van as children had been playing in the vicinity 20 minutes earlier.
Involved with a small insurance claim for a leak recently , they pulled every trick going to delay my payment like not returning my calls, answering my emails, assessor is sick today , its in the post , forgot to post the cheque etc etc unbelievable !!
My opinion is Frank that the insurance industry is now simply heartless, they do not want to pay a cent for a legitimate claim
Just when I thought showbiz couldn’t get any more surreal, extraordinary insurance claim.
have your say
