The State has finished its evidence in the trial of five men accused of involvement in a €2.28 million “tiger kidnapping” robbery.
The prosecution, led by Denis Vaughan Buckley SC, called their last witness on day 50 of the trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
David Byrne (36) of Old Brazeel Way, Knocksedan, Swords; Niall Byrne (27), of Aughavanagh Road, Crumlin; Mark Farrelly (37), of Moatview Court, Priorswood; Christopher Corcoran (61), of Bayside Boulevard North, Sutton; and Jason Kavanagh (34), of Parslickstown Court, Ladyswell, have pleaded not guilty to falsely imprisoning the Richardson family on March 13th and 14th, 2005.
They pleaded not guilty to robbing Paul Richardson and Securicor on that date. Judge Tony Hunt sent the jury of seven men and five women away until later this week to allow talks on legal issues.
