Sources have also told the Irish Mirror that gardai are also trying to find a connection between murdered sex offender Chris Mooney and Kieran Hamill – who was hit by a car as he escaped from the scene of the killing on Thursday morning.
Although Mr Mooney – who was repeatedly stabbed in the brutal attack in his home in Co Monaghan - had previously been convicted to sexually abusing a boy almost 20 years ago, sources have confirmed that Mr Hamill, 37, was not the victim.
