The court heard that the evidence showed, beyond reasonable doubt, that McConnell was the second assassin
Thomas 'Nicky' McConnell today became the fourth person to be found guilty of the murder of Gerard 'The Monk' Hutch's nephew Gareth Hutch in an ambush in Dublin eight years ago, following a verdict by the Special Criminal Court .
However, the court found that even if McConnell deliberately left the safety catch on, his other actions in preparation for the shooting showed that he was part of a common design with Keogh and others to commit murder and his actions were intended to result in Mr Hutch's death. He now faces the mandatory life sentence for murder. In November 2018 the Special Criminal Court found Regina Keogh of Cumberland St North, Dublin 1, Jonathan Keogh with an address at Gloucester Place, Dublin 1 and Thomas Fox with an address at Rutland Court, Dublin 1 guilty of the murder of Mr Hutch.
Mary McDonnell, who lived at the lookout apartment, told the trial in June last year that she could identify Jonathan Keogh because she had known him for many years but she did not know the second man
