Séamus McMahon Murder Probe Seeks Help
An appeal has been launched for assistance from the public in tracking down the killers of Séamus McMahon.
Gardaí today are particularly attempting to find anyone who was in the area of Bellewsbridge Road/ entrance to Saltown Estate between 6pm and 7pm on Sunday evening the 21st March 2010 and who may have witnessed anything or anyone acting suspiciously in the area.
Mr McMahon, a 41-year-old father to a teenage son, was shot on March 21 and Gardaí believe that up to three men were involved in the incident.
So far, Gardaí believe two entered the house and the third waited in the white hatchback.
The men who entered the house were described a tall and wearing dark coloured hooded tops. When they left the house they jumped the back wall into the garden of another house and exited at the front of the houses. They then jumped a stone wall on the Bellewsbridge Road, where the white car was waiting. This car then drove in the direction of the Fatima/Toberona Estate.
A Gardaí spokesman said they would welcome contact from anyone who might have information "no matter how insignificant they may consider this information to be", and urged them to contact the incident room in Dundalk on 042 9388400, the Garda Confidential Line 1-800-666-111 or any Garda Station.
The investigating Gardaí said they are also anxious to eliminate from their enquiries, the following vehicles observed in the area of Saltown/ Bellewsbridge Road around the time of the incident.
A white Toyota Corolla hatchback; a blue/green Ford Focus hatchback; a silver or white estate car, similar to an Opel Astra/Vectra and a silver Peugeot.
