'Amateur' assassins are becoming increasingly common, Irish police say, as addicts are being forced into shooting people in order to discharge debts to drug dealers.
Although there have been only five murders in Dublin this year, police say that dozens of attacks have been planned or attempted but have failed or been thwarted for various reasons. However, gang feuds and inter-gang rivalries are escalating and the violence is increasing, according to the Independent.
The murder of Continuity IRA man Liam Kenny early last Thursday in Clondalkin is the fourth gang-related murder in four weeks.
