Gardaí believe main target jumped out a window to escape Regency hotel attack

Gardaí believe the main target in Friday’s military-style attack at a north Dublin hotel managed to escape by jumping out a window with his foreign bodyguard.

Daniel Kinahan fled after two men, one dressed as a woman, fired into the ceiling at a boxing weigh-in at a suite of the Regency Hotel.

David Byrne, aged 33, from Crumlin, Dublin, a senior member of the Kinahan gang, was shot dead. He was hit more than three times, including once in the head, by an attacker dressed in garda Swat-style uniform, brandishing an AK-47.
