The State has concluded its case against Gerard ‘The Monk’ Hutch, who is charged with the murder of Kinahan Cartel member David Byrne at the Regency Hotel, and his two co-accused who deny participating in the murder by providing access to vehicles.

After 13 weeks of evidence, it is expected that Mr Hutch's co-accused Jason Bonney will call witnesses to give evidence on his behalf later this morning.
