poison gas

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of the killers on the airwaves' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'clip of grace playing a song' is the wordplay.
'clip of grace' becomes 'pois' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'song'='asong'
'asong' with letters rearranged gives 'ongas'.
'pois'+'ongas'='POISON-GAS'

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for poison gas that I've seen before include "Eg, sarin or phosgene" , "Such as chlorine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
