The killing of a young Dublin man in Drimnagh in the early hours of yesterday morning is being investigated as a planned murder with links to the drugs trade in south-central Dublin.

Gardaí seized a high-powered AR-15 semi-automatic rifle which they believe was used in an ambush murder and are investigating if the victim was set up by his own associates when the car he was travelling in was rammed and he was shot dead.
