A Limerick man who was part of a three-person gang involved in the tiger kidnapping of a post office manager’s son has had his sentence adjourned to allow a suspended sentence hanging over him from Cork Circuit Court be dealt with.

Following a 13-day trial at Limerick Circuit Court, a man was yesterday found guilty of abducting the son of a Limerick postmistress and his friend.

A man accused of abducting the son of a Limerick post mistress dyed his hair some days after the incident, a jury heard yesterday.

The son of a Limerick postmistress made a dramatic dash for freedom through open countryside after being abducted from his home at gunpoint, a court heard.
