A ruthless Kinahan cartel hitman was last night being quizzed over the murder of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch’s brother after cops arrested him in prison.
The thug, 42, was being held at a garda station in north Dublin as specialist detectives grilled him over the killing of Eddie Hutch. Taximan Eddie, 58, was blasted to death outside his home on Popular Row in Dublin’s north inner city on February 8, 2016.
Cops believe the shocking murder was in retaliation for the Regency Hotel attack, orchestrated by the Hutch gang, three days beforehand. On that occasion gang boss Daniel Kinahan escaped without injury but his senior associate David Byrne died after being plugged six times.
