TWO MEN HAVE been arrested in connection with the death of Darren Guerrine four years ago.
The two men are being detained at separate garda stations in Dublin having been arrested earlier today.
Guerrine, 21, was found dead on the bank of the Grand Canal between the Kylemore Road and the Naas Road in west Dublin just a few yards from his home on the morning of 18 February 2008.
A post mortem later showed that he was shot dead at point blank range in the incident.
One of the men is in his mid-30s and is being held at Kilmainham garda station with the second man in his late 20s being held at Kevin Street garda station.
Both men are being held under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939 and can be held for a total of 72 hours.

Just goes to show that the Garda don’t just forget a case.
Well done to the Garda and hope it brings closure to the family.
The problem the guards have is that they are, along with everything else in this country, under resourced and overpopulated with staff stuck under a system of bureaucratic time wasting so fair play to them for seeing this through, you can be sure they will solve a few more but they don’t have the resources to catch the major players in gangland unfortunately.
Spot on and In fairness to them Johnny they really are doing a great job with their limited resorces.
Hopefully somebody sees sense and frees up some resorces.
Nearly all of the real criminals in this country the guards have caught numerous times but our do-gooder system just keeps releasing the filth back onto the streets for the guards to start all over again.
It must be the most disheartening part of the job.
I’m sure there are exceptions but if someone is caught red handed being involved in serious crime and gets off within hours to carry on his/her chosen carreer is a kick in the teeth.
Don’t get me wrong,I don’t agree with quite a few of the laws or the enforcement but that’s for another day.
Again I say “well done”.
If the people ran the country they wouldn’t get back on the streets so easy.
the photo caption could do with being revised :/
