State witness Jonathan Dowdall repeatedly told gardai that Gerry Hutch wouldn't be "stupid" enough to confess to him.
Yet speaking before the Special Criminal Court, Dowdall claimed that a desperate Hutch - who he admits he wasn't close friends with, did confess to him because he "missed Daniel Kinahan and killed another person."
Dowdall made the claim that “things went horribly wrong” for Hutch and that’s why he confided in him in a park days after the Regency Hotel attack and told him he’d shot Byrne.
