The Murder Of Clive Staunton In Kildare Could Be Linked To A Seizure Of Cigarettes In Dublin Port

The 50-year-old was shot dead outside his home in Leixlip on Thursday night

He was returning home from a soccer match at the Aviva Stadium.

Gardai are looking into links between his murder and the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.

An inquiry is also now believed to be taking place into Mr Staunton's possible connections to a recent seizure of tobacco in Dublin Port.

Gardai are appealing for information on a Volvo S40 car believed to be used in the killing - it was later found in Co. Wicklow.
