Garda Believe Alan Desmond Killed Over 'Lost' Guns
Garda investigating the murder of Alan Desmond, whose body was found by children at the weekend, believe his killer to be a local criminal gang.
According to the Irish Independent Desmond (37), described as a loner, was asked to meet former associates near Killinarden Hill in Tallaght, Co Dublin.
Garda had seized a number of weapons and ammunition from his home in Kilclare Avenue on April 30. It was thought the guns were being stored for local criminals.
