Hutch murder accused looked "panicked", witness tells trial

Summary

During the trial, a witness testified that Jonathan Keogh, one of three Dubliners accused of murdering 36‑year‑old Gareth Hutch, appeared "panicked" as he ran up a street on the morning of May 24, 2016. Keogh, aged 32, is alleged to have been involved in the shooting that killed Hutch outside Avondale House flats on North Cumberland Street. The witness, Colette Geoghegan, said she saw Keogh running fast enough to look panicked and that he might have been wearing dark shorts. She left her home at 9.50 am with her partner, Maurice Farrell, and later that day heard about the shooting. The court also heard from other witnesses and Garda officers who described the scene at Avondale House, noting large crowds and the presence of Hutch's relatives. All three accused—Thomas Fox, Regina Keogh, and Jonathan Keogh—have pleaded not guilty to the murder charge. The trial continues with the prosecution presenting evidence of the alleged crime.
