Paul Murphy found guilty of helping criminal gang commit 2016 murder of David Byrne at Regency Hotel.
ONE OF THE two men accused alongside Gerard Hutch in the Regency Hotel murder trial has been found guilty of providing a motor vehicle to a criminal organisation.
Verdicts have not yet been delivered on the charges faced by Hutch or the third accused person Jason Bonney. Byrne, from Crumlin, was shot dead at the hotel in Whitehall, Dublin 9 after five men, three disguised as armed gardaí in tactical clothing and carrying AK-47 assault rifles, stormed the building during the attack, which was hosting a boxing weigh-in at the time.
The trial heard evidence from former Sinn Féin Councillor Jonathan Dowdall along with audio taken from a listening device inside a vehicle as Hutch and Dowdall allegedly travelled to Northern Ireland to meet Republican paramilitary contacts.The presiding judge Justice Tara Burns, sitting with Judge Sarah Berkeley and Judge Grainne Malone, will deliver their verdict later from 11am this morning.
Ms. Murphy said the covert recordings showed Hutch had authority over the AK-47 rifles used in the attack and was seeking someone to assist in defusing the aftermath of the very serious situation that developed.
