The man whose body was recovered from a river fell into the water while allegedly trying to hide from gardai, it has emerged.
The Irish Mirror can reveal that investigators believe Craig Gifford had been injured when the car he was driving crashed into a barrier close to Dublin’s M50 motorway last Wednesday — shortly after it had come to the attention of gardai.
It’s understood Mr Gifford (21) was injured in the single vehicle crash but managed to escape gardai.
