The Monk’s nephew gets 10 years for killing

A NEPHEW of one of Dublin’s most notorious criminals has received a 10-year sentence for killing a Co Meath man and causing serious harm to another over three years ago on St Stephen’s day.

Derek ‘Del Boy’ Hutch will serve six years in jail for the manslaughter of 23-year-old Barry Maguire, after Mr Justice Patrick McCarthy suspended four years of his sentence to “keep light at the end of the tunnel” and ensure “the business of sentencing” was not about “locking someone up and throwing away the key”.

Hutch, a nephew of Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, had pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of the young carpenter in the early hours of December 26, 2007 at Milltown Estate in Ashbourne.
