First pictures of car gardai believe was used after Derek Coakley Hutch murder

These are the first pictures of a car gardai believe was partly used to escape the scene of Derek Coakley Hutch's murder.

Cops are seeking to establish the movements of the black Toyota Avensis, registration 04-D-72956, in the days before the murder and hours immediately afterwards.

Gardai said it is believed that those involved in the killing transferred to the car at Crag Avenue in Clondalkin, Dublin 22 after setting fire to a VW Golf, registration 05-CE-1675, which was used during the murder.

The Avensis was then found on fire at Snowdrop Walk, Darndale, Dublin 17 at 6.25pm on January 20 – just over three hours after the murder.

The vehicle was sold on by its previous owner on the January 16 2018, gardai said.

Investigating Gardai are appealing to anyone who may have seen the vehicle between then and when it was found on fire at Snowdrop Walk to contact them at Lucan Garda Station on 01 666 7300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

Derek Hutch, 27, is the 14th victim of the Hutch/Kinahan feud - the Hutch side have killed two while the Kinahans have a bloody tally of 12.

He was shot dead while sitting in his car in a halting site in Ronanstown on Saturday, January 20.
