JAILED: Eamon Cumberton (Garda)

Contract killer Eamon Cumberton, 31, has already been jailed for life in connection with the killing of Barr, after his DNA found on a Freddy ­Krueger mask left in the getaway car was matched to that found on a cigarette he discarded during an arrest for a separate matter.
