ONE of the notorious Dundon crime family is believed to be hiding out in London.
Annabel Dundon fled from Ireland last year and a European Arrest Warrant has been issued for her arrest.
She is believed to be hiding out in the British capital.
Dundon left Limerick after she was charged with threatening to kill her brother's ex-girlfriend April Collins.
She is the sister of four Dundon brothers - Wayne (35), John (30), Dessie (29) and Ger (25) - who are all imprisoned and serving various sentences.
It has been disclosed that Annabel Dundon saw the murderers of Roy Collins make their escape from a Limerick shopping centre in 2009 after a fatal gun attack.
Unknown to Dundon, her then partner Joe Hehir had provided the police with vital information in relation to the murders of Collins and the gunning down of Baiba Saulite in 2006.
The 28-year-old was shot dead on the doorstep of her County Dublin home.
Annabel Dundon and Hehir had transported a map pinpointing Saulite’s home.
Hehir –who died suddenly at his Limerick home last year – told Gardai that the map was provided to John Dundon in prison by a criminal who wanted the mother of two murdered.
Convicted murderer Dundon was given the map which he passed on to his associates in Limerick.
The couple later broke up and unknown to Annabel Dundon, Hehir went to Gardai.
The Dundon family have strong links with London.
Members of the family returned from London 13 years ago, beginning a reign of terror that made Limerick the ‘murder capital’ of Western Europe in 2007-2008.
In 2000 John Dundon was deported from Britain by a judge after repeated convictions for burglary and in one instance, pushing a wheelchair bound man down a flight of stairs.
He was followed to Ireland by brothers Ger, Wayne and Dessie, who all grew up the Hackney.
The Dundon’s father Kenneth had settled in the east London neighbourhood after moving from Limerick to the English capital city in 1981. He married Anne McCarthy in Hackney in 1982.
The couple had six children. Father, Kenneth Snr has a long history of criminal activity in the city.
In 2003, his details were posted on Scotland Yard’s most wanted list and a European Bench warrant was put out for his arrest after a 50-year-old heroin addict, Christopher Jacobs, who was an having an affair with Dundon’s estranged wife, was repeatedly stabbed in the face and upper body in 2003.
Kenneth Dundon later pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter and served a six-year prison sentence.
The gang’s hold on Limerick city was finally broken last year after John Dundon was found guilty at Dublin’s Special Criminal Court of the murder of rugby player Shane Geoghegan.
Dundon, 30, from Hyde Road in Limerick, has been sentenced to life in prison. The killing of Mr Geoghegan – a 28-year-old who was gunned down nearly five years ago in a case of mistaken identity – brought about a garda response that helped put Dundon behind bars.
