Hotel shooting was ‘resourced, carefully planned, targeted’, court hears

A six-man squad carried out “a resourced, carefully planned, targeted, murderous attack” at the Regency Hotel almost two years ago, a court has been told.

The Special Criminal Court heard a “perfected callousness” was involved in the murder of David Byrne at the north Dublin hotel on February 5, 2016.

The 34-year-old Crumlin man was shot six times, including to the head, face, abdomen, and thighs in the reception area of the hotel.
