A 26-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the murder of Kevin Ledwidge (27) in Finglas last summer.
The man was arrested in Finglas West this morning and is being held at Finglas Garda station under section 30 of The Offences Against The State Act.
Kevin Ledwidge, was shot in the chest with a shotgun after he answered the door at the family home on Ratoath Drive in Finglas on 15th July 2007. He fell back into the hallway of the house where he died from his injuries almost immediately.
The gunman ran from the house to a waiting grey coloured Opel Vectra. He was driven away at speed by an accomplice. However, the two men crashed the car a short time later, abandoning it on Ratoath Avenue and fleeing the area on foot.
Gardaí say a number of people saw the killers, who were apparently not wearing balaclavas or other disguises, and have given them detailed descriptions.
The gunman is described as being in his 20s, of medium build with short black greying hair. He wore a black hooded top under a blue tracksuit top. The driver was also described as being in his 20s, with light brown spiked hair and chubby cheeks.
To date three people have been arrested in connection with the murder although no one has been charged.
