Gardaí confirm file on murder of Gerry Hutch's brother to be given to DPP following arrests

The fatal shooting occurred just three days after a member of the rival Kinahan cartel, David Byrne, was killed at a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel

Eddie Hutch (pictured) was the first of six people associated with the Hutch gang to be murdered by the Kinahan gang in 2016 in the aftermath of the Regency Hotel shooting in a gangland feud which has claimed a total of 18 lives to date since the killing of Gary Hutch.

A file on the gangland murder of the brother of crime boss, Gerry “The Monk” Hutch, is to be forwarded to the DPP in the next few weeks, gardaí have confirmed.

A sitting of Dublin District Coroner’s Court heard on Thursday that gardaí had made progress in their investigation into the fatal shooting of Eddie Hutch outside his home in Dublin’s north inner city over seven years ago.
