A cousin of Gareth Hutch, the nephew of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch who was shot near his home in north Dublin seven years ago, came across his relative’s body just moments after he was fatally wounded and told gardaí who arrived on the scene “it’s the f**king feud”.

The Special Criminal court heard on Monday from witnesses who saw Ross Hutch “clutching his head” and “roaring” after finding his slain cousin’s body lying between two cars in the car park at Avondale House. He was heard screaming “oh, no, no, no”.
