Parties before the Special Criminal Court in the trial relating to the February 2016 Regency Hotel murder have agreed to take no further steps regarding a document disclosed to the defence, which prosecution counsel described as a "curious development". Defence counsel stated the matter would be resolved at a future date, while the presiding judge noted the court had no information about the disclosure. The court heard evidence concerning the seizure of three AK-47 assault rifles from a vehicle stopped near Slane in County Meath on 9 March 2016, with bullet casings recovered from the murder scene matching those weapons. Gerard Hutch, Paul Murphy, and Jason Bonney deny involvement in the killing of David Byrne during a boxing weigh-in at the hotel on 5 February 2016. The court is scheduled to rule tomorrow on the admissibility of CCTV evidence relating to Mr Murphy's vehicle, following submissions concerning Data Protection Act compliance and privacy rights. The trial will continue before Ms Justice Tara Burns and two other judges.
