CCTV evidence in Hutch murder trial

Summary

The trial of Thomas Fox, Regina Keogh, and Jonathan Keogh, all accused of murdering Gareth Hutch, continued before a three-judge court presided over by Mr Justice Tony Hunt. The defendants, who have pleaded not guilty to the murder, faced the admission of extensive CCTV evidence after the court rejected a defence application to exclude the footage on privacy grounds. Prosecutors presented clips from May 22, 2016, allegedly showing the accused and linked vehicles, including a white Ford Transit van, a black BMW, and a silver Honda Civic, in Dublin 7. The State alleges the defendants purchased Milton sterilising fluid and that Mr Keogh and an accomplice, Mr AB, were the shooters. Mr Fox also faces a charge of unlawfully possessing a Makarov 9mm handgun, which he denies. The prosecution characterised the killing of Mr Hutch, who died from four gunshot injuries on May 24, 2016, as premeditated. The trial is ongoing and continues tomorrow.
