Darren Kearns (33) of Ashington Dale, Navan Road, Ashtown suffered a number of fatal gunshot wounds when confronted by a lone gunman
A Garda investigation into the murder of a man outside a pub on Dublin ’s northside nine years ago is “very much ongoing” with new lines of investigation being followed, an inquest has heard.
Detective Inspector Darragh Kenny told a brief sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court on Tuesday that the investigation into Mr Kearns’ death was “very much ongoing.” Det Insp Kenny said he believed it would be 12 months before an investigation file on the case would be prepared for forwarding to the DPP for direction. He explained that it would probably be inevitable that he would need to seek a further adjournment if he was only granted a six-month adjournment.
The attacker’s vehicle was subsequently found burnt out a short distance away in a laneway off Regal Park, Cabra where a male was seen running to a waiting car. The BMW used as a getaway vehicle from the pub had been bought from a car buyer’s website two months earlier by someone who had supplied false details.
