A 42-year-old man arrested in connection with the murder of a taxi driver in Dublin seven years ago as part of the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud has been released without charge and returned to prison.
A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Eddie Hutch was shot dead in his home at Poplar Row in Dublin’s north inner city shortly after the murder of the Kinahan gang member David Byrne at the Regency Hotel.
Gardaà believe Mr Hutch was shot in retaliation for the Regency murder in a targeted attack on 8 February 2016.
The 58-year-old, who was the brother of Gerard Hutch, the man known as the Monk, was the fourth victim of the ongoing Hutch-Kinahan feud.
He was shot dead three days after the murder of Kinahan gang member David Byrne at the Regency Hotel, the murder which escalated the feud.
The 42-year-old suspect for the murder was taken from prison yesterday and questioned over the past two days in a Dublin garda station.
A Kinahan gang member and convicted violent, dangerous and recidivist criminal, he is serving lengthy sentences in Mountjoy Prison 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 was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and returned to Mountjoy Prison this evening when his period of detention expired.
The murder investigation is continuing.
