Four prisoners arrested over the killing of fellow inmate Robert O’Connor in Mountjoy prison are likely to be charged over it, the Irish Mirror can reveal.
The 34-year-old Dubliner was beaten to death in a cell on July 29. He had only begun a six-year sentence for possession of a firearm when he was targeted.
All four suspects were identified by prison staff shortly afterwards and were then removed from Mountjoy to other jails around the country. But each of them was separately brought back to Mountjoy in the past 10 days, arrested and taken away individually for questioning by gardai.
