Mr Hutch, with a last address at The Paddocks, Clontarf, has denied the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Dublin on February 6th, 2016. When his trial, listed for 12 weeks, opened before a three judge non-jury Special Criminal Court on October 18th, prosecuting counsel Seán Gillane SC said the case of the Director of Public Prosecutions is that Mr Hutch was part of a six-person team who participated in the “execution-style” killing of Mr Byrne.

Counsel said Jonathan Dowdall had said that, during a conversation with Mr Hutch in a park in Whitehall, Dublin, some days after the killing, and after publication in the Sunday World of a photograph of two people whom the prosecution allege were among the six, Mr Hutch told him “they” had carried out the murder and he was one of the team who shot David Byrne.
