The alleged head of an Irish underworld family has been acquitted of murdering an associate of a rival gang at a boxing weigh-in event at a hotel in Dublin in 2016.

The prosecution had claimed that on Feb. 5, 2016 Gerry “The Monk” Hutch was trying to kill his arch rival Daniel Kinahan, but the gangster slipped away and Hutch and his accomplices instead gunned down David Byrne, 33.
