Gardaí thwart ‘up to 12 feud killings’ between Kinahan and Hutch gangs

Gardaí believe they have prevented up to 12 murder attempts in the Kinahan-Hutch feud, which has claimed at least eight lives.

It follows the seizure on Monday of a submachine gun at a purported safe house used by one of the criminal groups, thought to be the Kinahan cartel.

Gardaí said the seizure of the high-powered weapon, found in an apartment in a leafy north Dublin suburb, had “saved lives” and that it could have been intended for use in a feud attack.
