Jonathan Dowdall has told the trial of Gerry Hutch that the accused told him that he [Hutch] and ‘Mago’ Gately shot David Byrne.
He said he drove there in his Toyota Land Cruiser and went in through a small gate where he met Hutch at about 11 or half 11 in the morning. He said Hutch had said people had called to his nephew's house and that other contacts had been made. He claimed Hutch asked him “could I contact people in the North.”He said meaning it was “him [Gerry Hutch] and them at the hotel.”
Dowdall said Hutch told him that people were “knocking on family members doors and he needed to get someone to try and sort something out.” Dowdall said he was “told” that “the Kinahans believed Gary was an informant and that there were certain things going on in Spain and they were blaming Gary.” Dowdall said there was a “sum of money” asked for by the Kinahans and that it was a E200,000 “demand” placed upon the Hutch family.Asked if he learned anything further about Patrick Hutch Jr’s involvement in the dispute, Dowdall said that the Kinahans wanted him to be injured in a “punishment shooting.”
