A second person has been charged in connection with the murder of Gareth Hutch in Dublin on 24 May.

The 29-year-old man will appear in court tomorrow charged with firearms offences.

Earlier, a 44-year-old woman was remanded in custody at Dublin District Court  after she was accused of withholding information from gardaí investigating Mr Hutch's murder.

The 35-year-old father-of-one was shot dead as he was getting into his car outside Avondale House flats complex, where he lived on North Cumberland Street in the north inner-city, last Tuesday morning.

Mary McDonnell, of Avondale House, North Cumberland Street, was charged with failing to disclose information that could have prevented a serious offence.

Judge Anthony Halpin remanded her in custody to appear again on 7 June.

Gareth Hutch is believed to be the seventh victim of a feud between two criminal gangs.

Six of the victims have been killed in the greater Dublin area in the past four months.
