Pic of Day: Gerry “the Monk” Hutch has been found not guilty by a non-jury court in Dublin of the high-profile murder of David Byrne at a Dublin hotel seven years ago. Byrne, 33, died after being shot six times at a crowded boxing weigh-in event at Dublin’s Regency Hotel on February 5, 2016, in one of the first deadly attacks of the Hutch-Kinahan gangland feud. The judgment was handed down by a three-judge panel in the Special Criminal Court and read out by Ms. Justice Tara Burns. Burns described the Regency attack as a “meticulously planned high-velocity assassination” event, carried out by a six-man hit team which left one man dead and two others injured. The court was unable to place Hutch in that hit team based on the evidence presented. RollingNews.ie photo.
