THE Monk clutches what appear to be groceries as he returned to his Dublin home yesterday.

Hutch heads out & grabs groceries

A source said: “The only conclusion is he will disappear.”

GERRY “the Monk” Hutch will have to flee Ireland because the Kinahan cartel are still desperate to murder him, gardai believe.

And it looks like the 60-year-old has got wind of the cop theory after he was spotted with his bags packed yesterday – shopping bags.
