First picture of freed Dublin thug Gavin Quinn who beat garda and left him for dead

Here is the first picture of the vile thug who beat and left a Garda for dead since his release from prison.

Our picture shows brazen criminal Gavin Quinn smiling for the camera as he returned home last week, just 45 days after he was caged for years for a brutal attack on a member of An Garda Siochana. Quinn is seen sitting by the window in a picture that was uploaded to his social media page on Sunday as friends and family wished him a “welcome home.”

The thug posted the photo as widespread criticism continued over his release from prison despite him being given a two and a half year jail term for the shocking attack on Garda Alan Murphy in which the officer thought he was going to die. The release has left gardai in Dublin infuriated, with the victim not even realising he was out of prison until a colleague told him late last Wednesday night.
