Tiger raid trial continues in legal argument
The trial of two men accused of taking part in a €2.28m tiger raid six years ago has continued in legal argument.
David Byrne (aged 39), of Old Brazeel Way, Knocksedan, Swords, Co Dublin and Niall Byrne (aged 29), of Crumlin Road Flats, Crumlin Rd, Dublin have both pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to falsely imprisoning the Richardson family at Ashcroft, Raheny, north Dublin city on March 13 and 14, 2005.
They have also pleaded not guilty to robbing Paul Richardson and Securicor of €2,280,000 on the same date.
Both men are alleged to have been members of a gang that held Mr Richardson, a Securicor worker, and his family hostage as part of a raid in March 2005.
The trial will continue tomorrow in evidence before Judge Patrick McCartan and a jury of seven men and five women.
