The home of Gerry "The Monk" Hutch in the leafy suburbs of Dublin is under the watchful eye of gardai - where he is suspected of staying overnight hours after walking free from court.
Detectives are on high alert as they fear a female member of the Kinahan cartel will insist that the 60-year-old and others associated with him are targeted once more, having previously ordered the killings of feud victims. It can be revealed that a visible increase of garda patrols kicked off on Monday surrounding the Clontarf area and Hutch's home in The Paddocks regularly.
Sources told us that it is suspected that The Monk actually stayed in the home on Monday night. But following his sensational acquittal of the David Byrne murder charge in the Criminal Courts of Justice on Monday, Hutch is expected to dart from the country in the coming days.
