Irish boxing legend Paul Egan wants police to stop pursuing murder suspect Gerry Hutch

Recently the investigation of 2016’s Regency Hotel shooting, that resulted in the death of alleged Kinahan cartel lieutenant David Byrne, has gathered steam. Four men are due to stand trial in connection to the incident, which saw five armed men storm an MTK Global boxing weigh-in show and fire into the crowded room.

Among the charged individuals is Jonathan Dowdall, a former Dublin city councillor for the Sinn Féin party. Dowdall has been charged with murdering Byrne. Dowdall’s father, and three other men, are accused of securing hotel rooms and vehicles for the suspected gunmen.

An arrest warrant has also been ordered for Gerry Hutch, who authorities believe ordered the shooting as part of the ongoing gang war between the Hutch Gang and the Kinihan Organized Crime Group.
