    A body found in a shallow grave in rural Kildare this week is believed to be that of a Dublin criminal who disappeared last month.

    Philip Finnegan (24), from Aikenhead House, Dublin 8, went missing Wednesday August 10.

    Gardai believe he was killed by associates of jailed gang boss Brian Rattigan.
