Timeline of Hutch-Kinahan feud that started in Spain and has resulted in 18 murders

The feud between the Kinahan cartel and Hutch mob was initially sparked by the cold-blooded hit on Gary Hutch in Spain in 2015.

However, it was the attack at a boxing weigh-in event in Dublin’s Regency Hotel in February 2016 – which left Kinahan mobster David Byrne dead – that really ignited the gang war.

Daniel Kinahan was believed to have been the target, but he escaped and fled to Dubai.
