GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a man in connection with the murder of Eddie Hutch two years ago.
A brother of Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, the 59-year-old taxi driver was gunned down at his home on Poplar Row in Dublin’s north inner-city on the night of Monday 8 February 2016.
In a statement this afternoon, gardaí said the arrested man was “conveyed to Mountjoy Garda Station” and has been detained under Section 5 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.
He can be held for up to seven days.

Waste of time and money. Give it a couple of months and he will be St. Peter’s problem.
Why was Fat Freddie Thompson let go after being arrested wearing blood stained clothes while travelling in a stolen on the night of the shooting? Oh yeah that’s right, because 2 days later there was 900,000€ worth of coke “discovered”!
@Liam Whelan: stolen car
@Liam Whelan: Liamo I think you were suppose to use the other account to post that!
@Liam Whelan: He wasn’t arrested for the murder, he was detained for a search & his clothing was seized for testing. You cannot just arrest people for murder for the craic, you need to have grounds to do so. Had the gardaí done so his solicitor would have made a habeas corpus application & had him released, then any future prosecution would be difficult. He’d also want to be a complete idiot to tout on the Kinehans for only €90k of drugs.
@Joe Bloggs: 900k not 90?
@James Wond: typo on my part. The point still stands; why would he put himself in danger by touting in such an obvious fashion for that amount of drugs & the arrest of only two gillies?
