THE Sunday World yesterday tracked down NW Ireland's most wanted fugitive, John 'the Coach' Traynor. We door-stepped the 65-year-old who fled Ireland the night journalist Veronica Guerin was murdered in June 1996 at his new hideaway in the UK. -;Gardai believe Traynor set Veronica up to be j killed by John Gilligan's drug gang. In an extraordinary interview, the veteran crook broke a 17-year silence and claimed his own life ended the day the journalist was shot.
"When John Gilligan organised that murder he f**ked everything up for us all. The minute it happened I knew my life was over," he said. "I didn't even stay a night in Ireland after that hap-pened because I knew the gardai would want to round us all up."
