Gardaí are continuing to question three men arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in Dublin last February.
Father-of-one Aidan Byrne (33), from Dublin’s north inner city, was shot 10 times in the passenger seat of a Toyota Corolla at Drumalee Avenue off the North Circular Road in Dublin on Saturday, February 20th.
The three men, two aged in their 20s and one in his 30s, were arrested in Dublin yesterday morning.
A fourth man, also in his 20s, who was arrested at the same time has been released without charge.
The men are being held under Section 50 Criminal Justice Act at Pearse Street, Store Street and Mountjoy Garda stations.
Byrne’s killing is believed to be related to the Sheriff Street feud involving jailed rapist and gangland boss Christie Griffin.
Byrne, a convicted rapist, served a five-year sentence for the rape of two prostitutes in a brothel in Capel Street in the 1990s. He was also implicated in an attempted robbery at Cocoon, the now defunct nightclub which was owned by Formula One driver Eddie Irvine.
