Amateur Sleuthing

If Detectives Briscoe and Logan from Law and Order were investigating this morning's double-murder in Finglas, they would be intrigued by the timing in which one of two plumbers working at the house happened to be away at the exact time interval that the murder of the 2nd plumber and intended target Marlo Hyland occurred. In cases like this, suspicious minds are usually trumped by the simpler explanation of someone having blundered, which in this case would mean that the hitmen who had the house under surveillance assumed that both workmen left when in fact only one did.

UPDATE: There is at least one important question flowing from this: Was Hyland under Garda surveillance when he was killed, as Taoiseach Bertie Ahern clumsily seemed to imply?
