Summary
When Anthony Burnett and Joseph Redmond drove up the M1 in a stolen car in March 2012, they assumed they were in for an easy pay day by selling the Volkswagen to Jason O’Driscoll. But what they didn’t realise was that the prolific hitman had decided to kill them believing they had cheated him out of a drug deal worth just €1,500. By the time the friends were unwittingly driving to their deaths in a remote forest on the border with Newry, O’Driscoll had built up a reputation within the underworld as a reliable gun-for-hire. So who was he and how did gardai link him to the brutal double murders? Nicola speaks to Robin Schiller about the life and crimes of O’Driscoll, one of gangland’s most prolific guns-for-hire.
