A surveillance garda told the Special Criminal Court that he observed a man he recognised as Gerard Hutch departing Jonathan Dowdall's home on the Navan Road on 12 February 2016 on a black Honda motorcycle, approximately one week after the Regency Hotel shooting. The officer, testifying under an assigned initial, stated he saw the motorcycle driver wearing dark bike gear and a helmet with the visor raised. Mr Hutch, aged 59, denies murdering David Byrne during a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel on 5 February 2016. Further NSU witnesses gave evidence of observing Dowdall's grey Toyota Land Cruiser in County Donegal on 20 February and again on 7 March 2016, with Mr Hutch present as a passenger on the latter occasion. A garda also testified that on 9 March 2016, she saw Shane Rowan, subsequently convicted of possessing three AK-47 assault rifles used in the Byrne killing, at Clarehall Shopping Centre. The non-jury trial continues.
