Man pleads not guilty to Gareth Hutch murder

A 29-year-old man replied “not guilty” when he was charged yesterday with the murder of Gareth Hutch, who was shot dead as he was getting into his car outside his home in Dublin.

Father-of-one Hutch, 35, a nephew of Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, was gunned down outside Avondale House flats, on North Cumberland Street, in inner-city Dublin, on May 24 last year.

Thomas Fox, who has an address at Rutland Court, in north inner-city Dublin, was charged last year with unlawful possession of a Makarov 9mm handgun, at Avondale House, on May 23, a day before the shooting.
