Associates of gun victim James Whelan are planning to kill the gangster they blame for the murder – but only after his funeral, it has emerged.
Sources have revealed that gardai probing last Sunday’s shooting of Whelan in north Dublin fear tensions are at boiling point among his associates - and they are determined to seek revenge.
They have identified the gangster known as Mr Flashy as being behind the murder of the 29-year-old in Finglas even though gardai do not suspect he fired the fatal shot.
