Derek 'Del Boy' Hutch
KILLER Derek 'Del Boy' Hutch is now back with the rest of his caged clan in Wheatfield jail in Dublin following a three-week stint at Castlerea prison.
He had been sent to Castlerea as punishment for threatening to have photographs taken of off-duty prison officers in a bid to be allowed mix with other prisoners, according to sources.
However, one family member Del Boy is being kept separated from on his return is his cousin Alan, son of slain taxi driver Eddie Hutch.

“There is a 16 cell unit in Wheatfield called the Rabbit Hutch which houses all the Hutches and associates, except Alan Hutch, who has fallen out with Del Boy and the rest,” said a source.
Eleven of the cells are empty, with just four members of the Hutch family detained there, along with killer Keith Hall, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of Melanie McCarthy.

“Alan is mad. Word is he bizarrely blames Del Boy for what happened to his dad,” our source added.
“He can’t handle being locked up and is very paranoid, thinking that most people are out to get him.
“They tried putting Alan back with the others, but he ends up fighting with them.
“Alan has set fire to his cell a few times recently and had to be dragged out of his cell by prison officers two weeks ago during the night.
“He had passed out and he was taken to hospital under armed escort.”
33-year-old Alan is serving an eight-year sentence for threatening to kill three gardaí in 2012.
He reportedly came to blows last week with his cousin Patrick Hutch (24), who is accused of being one of those who killed David Byrne at the Regency.
Del Boy is a top target of the Kinahan Cartel. He was attacked in Mountjoy jail in December 2015 and had to be saved by other inmates when thugs tried to knife him with a shiv.
