Jonathan Keogh was sent forward in custody for trial on a charge of murdering Gareth Hutch. The proceedings were reported on 4 September 2017.

Keogh, 31, from north inner city Dublin, had been extradited from the UK to be charged. He was remanded in custody on 24 August 2017 after becoming the third person charged with the murder. His sister Regina Keogh and Dublin man Thomas Fox had been charged earlier.

Gareth Hutch, 35, was shot as he got into his car outside Avondale House flats on North Cumberland Street, Dublin, on the morning of 24 May 2016.

Keogh was served with a book of evidence when he appeared again at Cloverhill District Court. The Director of Public Prosecutions directed that he face a non-jury trial at the Special Criminal Court. The judge sent him forward in custody; the report said the District Court could not grant bail in murder cases. A date for his appearance at the Special Criminal Court had yet to be set.
