Fatal incident occurred in early hours of Tuesday morning
Victim closely associated with men who have come to Garda attention for serious organised crime, though killing not believe to be gangland attack
The dead man, who is in his 60s and had several adult children, was stabbed at a house on Dunsink Green, Finglas, Dublin 11, just before 12.30am. The emergency services were alerted immediately, with gardaí and paramedics rushing to the scene. On Tuesday, gardaí had closed a large section of Dunsink Green to traffic and pedestrians as members of the Garda Technical Bureau could be seen carrying out a technical examination. The Office of the State Pathologist has also been informed of the killing, and a postmortem on the victim’s remains was due to be carried out on Tuesday.
The dead man was a close associate of men from Finglas who have been involved in the drugs trade, and gangland feuding. Those men have feuded with a leading criminal in the area who has controlled much of the local drugs trade and whose gang has been repeatedly targeted in Garda operations in recent years.
