Regency murder trial hears of 'bedlam' after men dressed as gardaí fired off three or four rounds

A man attending a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel in Dublin was "relieved" when people he thought were gardaí arrived after a shooting before one of them took aim with a gun and shot a person, the Special Criminal Court has heard today.

The evidence was heard today during the second day of the trial of Patrick Hutch (aged 25) of Champions Avenue, Dublin 1, who is pleading not guilty to the murder of David Byrne (aged 34) at the Regency Hotel in Dublin on February 5, 2016.
