Context, how are they allegedly connected, what have the police said? Right now this article is just a series of short, disconnected summaries, with no overall theme, and no evidence of notability as an overall topic. And even in a low-murder-rate country like Ireland (Rep. of), not every murder is notable. 193.93.77.41 (talk) 07:37, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The volume of sources arguably justifies that this is a notable topic. Not every murder is notable enough for its own article, and they don't; but I think it's clearly justified to have one on the ongoing violence as a whole. With the recent death in Belfast, it's now also receiving attention from UK media, e.g.[1]Robofish (talk) 19:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
