Gerry “The Monk” Hutch faces another delay in his trial over the murder of David Byrne – after “very significant evidence” came to light.
A clean-shaven Hutch, dressed in a white shirt and tan trousers sat quietly with headphones on in the dock of the Special Criminal Court as the building outside was surrounded by armed gardai throughout the day.
Donning a lengthy grey mane, the 59-year-old sat alongside his co-accused – Jason Bonney and Paul Murphy, as his defence outlined why a delay in the case was now necessary.
