'The Monk' is accused of murdering David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Dublin in February 2016.
The trial of Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, who is accused of murdering David Byrne in Dublin in February 2016, will begin at the Special Criminal Court today.
The 34 year-old was shot dead at the Regency Hotel in Whitehall during a boxing weigh-in.
Former Sinn Féin councillor Jonathan Dowdall was due to stand trial with Mr Hutch, but his plea to the lesser charge of facilitating the murder by booking a room at the hotel was accepted by the DPP and he was jailed for 4 years yesterday.
He begins his sentence in Portlaoise Maximum Security prison.
Two other men are also due in court this morning for related charges
