Residents became aware of gangland attack by sound of large volley of gunfire just after midnight on Knocknarea Road in Drimnagh

in a gangland attack in Dublin believe several men were armed at that scene and that a large number of shots were discharged from heavy calibre guns.

The investigation into the murder was last night in its early stages and a large and chaotic crime scene was still being examined by technical experts. The scene included the location where Mr Itseli died, the two vehicles that crashed and a third car, about 200m away on Sperrin Road, which was severely damaged having apparently been crashed multiple times.This couple lived on Great Blasket with no electricity or running water.

The precise sequence of events, and the motive for the shooting, were still under investigation. However, gardaí have not ruled out the possibility that the dead man, and possible accomplices, were ambushed by another group who believed they were about to carry out an attack. “I commend the gardaí for responding quickly, resulting in the speedy arrest of suspects. Tackling crime and ensuring safer streets continues to be a top priority for An Garda Síochána and the Government,” she said.
