Two Being Quizzed Over Limerick Murder
Two men are still being questioned in connection with the murder of Daniel Treacy in Limerick last week.
The 35-year-old was shot dead at a petrol station on the outskirts of Limerick city last Monday morning.
Gardaí have been given more time to question two men, aged 29 and 51, who are being held at Henry Street and Roxboro Road garda stations.
Some 100 gardai are believed to be involved in the investigation into the fatal
shooting of 35 year old father of two at a filling station on the Ennis Road just before 6.30 last Monday morning.
Gardai have been studying CCTV footage from 60 locations, house to house inquiries have been completed in Limerick but were ongoing this weekend in North Kerry, where a car believed to have been used by the gunman was found partially burned out.
At Limerick District Court on Saturday Judge Tom O'Donnell granted an application for the further detention of a 29-year-old man arrested on the north side of the city last Monday night.
Under the provisions of Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act he must be released or charged by the end of the day.
Gardai were also granted a further 3 days to detain a 51 year old man who was also arrested on the city's north side on Wednesday evening.
