Witness describes wrapping shooting victim in sheet

Summary

During a murder trial, a witness described how he wrapped the body of Gareth Hutch, 36, in a sheet after Hutch was shot dead in the carpark of Avondale House flats on North Cumberland Street, Dublin, on 24 May 2016. The witness, Neville Mills, said he heard a commotion that morning, saw Ross Hutch holding his hands to his head and screaming hysterically, and later saw two men running out of the gate. Mills went down to the carpark, found Hutch lying on the ground, and wrapped him in a sheet. He also reported seeing a handgun in the carpark and another weapon beside a car, with spent cartridges on the ground. The trial also heard other witnesses describing the scene, the movements of the attackers, and CCTV footage of the incident. The accused—Thomas Fox, 31; Regina Keogh, 41; and Jonathan Keogh, 32—have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Gareth Hutch.
