Two men arrested over fatal Ballyfermot shooting

Two men have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting in July of a man (55) at a house in Ballyfermot, Dublin.

The victim was killed after opening the front door of a house at Croftwood Park at about 11am on July 27th.

He had been living in the UK and had arrived home to Ireland about a week previously. He was staying in the home of his elderly mother when he was killed.

The victim was not known to gardaí and is not thought to have been involved in gangland crime either here or in the UK. However, at least one person close to him is believed to be involved with a local criminal gang whose leader has been a target of the Criminal Assets Bureau in recent years.
