Man Arrested In Gareth Hutch Murder Investigation

Gardaí have arrested a man, aged in his 30s, in connection with the fatal shooting of Gareth Hutch.

Mr Hutch was shot dead on Tuesday 24 May at the Avondale House flats on North Cumberland Street.

Gardaí believe that his murder may be linked to an ongoing feud between Dublin criminal gangs.

Mr Hutch was the nephew of Gerard Hutch, the man known as 'The Monk'.

Garda made the arrest on Saturday and the suspect remains in custody, held under the provisions of Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 1997 as amended, at a Dublin city centre station.
