A 42-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a taxi driver in Dublin as part of the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
Eddie Hutch was shot dead in his home at Poplar Row in Dublin’s north inner city three days after the murder of the Kinahan gang member David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.
Gardaà believe the 58-year-old was shot in retaliation for the Regency murder, which escalated the feud.
He was shot dead in his home in a targeted attack on 8 February 2016.
Eddie Hutch, who was the brother of Gerard Hutch, the man known as the Monk, was the fourth victim of the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
The 42-year-old suspect for the murder was taken from prison today and is being questioned tonight in a Dublin garda station.
A Kinahan gang member and violent, dangerous and recidivist criminal, he is serving lengthy sentences in Mountjoy jail for firearms and other offences.
He is incarcerated with other Kinahan gang members who are segregated in the prison system from rival Hutch gang members.
Detectives from Mountjoy applied to the courts and secured a Section 42 warrant which enabled them to arrest the prisoner on suspicion of murder.
He is being detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be questioned for up to 24 hours.
