The murder of David Byrne ignited a violent gang war, claiming 18 lives and shocking Dublin’s streets.
Dublin: So, you know that Lilly-Ella Gerrard, right? Well, she’s expecting her first baby with Lee Byrne, whose family has been through some serious drama lately.
She shared a scan pic on Instagram, and her dad, Steven Gerrard, was all excited, saying they can’t wait for the little one. But here’s the kicker: Lee’s dad, Liam, is in prison for a pretty hefty sentence related to gun charges.
Now, Liam’s got a wild past. He was once a trusted guy in the Kinahan cartel, which is notorious for all sorts of crime. The gang was founded by Christy Kinahan, a convicted drug smuggler, and his son, Daniel, is now the big boss.
Things got really messy back in 2016 when David Byrne, Lee’s uncle, was murdered at a boxing weigh-in. It was a total bloodbath, with gunmen storming in and shooting him dead in front of everyone.
This shocking event kicked off a gang war in Dublin, leading to 18 deaths over time. It was chaos, with revenge killings happening left and right. Even kids were caught up in the horror of it all.
And while the authorities have been trying to take down the Kinahan gang, Daniel Kinahan is still out there, living free despite the massive bounty on his head. It’s a wild story, and it just keeps getting crazier.
