Shot dead
Two men arrested over murder of man in Meath car park
Peter Butterly was shot dead in Gormanston last year.
TWO MEN HAVE been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in Meath last year.
Peter Butterly, 35, was shot dead outside The Huntsman Inn pub at Gormanston at around 2pm on the 6 March 2013.
It’s believed he drove into the car park and was followed a few minutes later by a second car.
Butterly was then confronted by the occupants of the second car as he walked across the car park and was shot a number of times.
The assailants fled the scene in a car which turned left as it exited the car park. However the car was intercepted a short time later and four males were arrested by gardaí.
The men arrested this morning are aged in their 40s and 50s.
They are being held at Kells Garda station.
