A 40-year-old criminal who was a close associate of many Kinahan cartel members has died in tragic circumstances in a south Dublin apartment. This feud saw one side led by jailed killer Brian Rattigan, and the other led by convicted murderer Freddie Thompson. His associate Graham Whelan was jailed for six years for the same offence after telling gardai he could do 10 years in jail "standing on his head". The last time this happened was in Rathmines when gardai spotted Griffiths, Whelan and another man last September. “He was very trusted by all that crew Freddie and of course is very close pal Graham Whelan,” a source said.
