A NEPHEW of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch has been jailed for 10 years for two separate attacks on a man and a woman in a 48-hour-period.

Ross Hutch, 31, of Portland Place in Dublin 1, pleaded guilty to assault causing serious harm to his ex-girlfriend's partner on August 22, 2021, by slashing the man's face with a knife.

The attack, which left the victim with serious disfiguring facial scars, took place outside a pub on Sheriff Street in Dublin's inner city.

Hutch further admitted assault causing harm to a different ex-girlfriend the following day on August 23, 2021, at Holyhead Hostel on Gardiner Street.
