Cases
latest first- Search of Rathfarnham land stood down in Liam Murray murder inquiry Murder · Co. Dublin
Liam Murray, a 42-year-old mechanic and property investor, was fatally shot in the bedroom of his home at Rockbrook Cottages, Edmondstown Road, Rathfarnham, south Dublin, on St Patrick's Day 2009 and was found three days later. In 2011, two men – a former IRA member and a Dublin businessman who was a close associate of the former IRA man – were arrested for questioning and a file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, but no criminal charges were advanced due to insufficient evidence. The case remained unsolved for 17 years. On 13 May 2026, Gardaí stood down a search of land near Murray's home, though they confirmed the investigation continues.
