The jury in the trial of two men accused of kidnapping a family and stealing €2.28m has failed to reach a verdict today.

A forensics expert has told the trial of two men accused of taking part in a €2.28m tiger raid that the pattern of telephone calls between two of the suspects was unusual in the run up to the robbery.

THE trial of two men accused of taking part in a €2.28 million tiger kidnapping robbery has heard evidence of dozens of phonecalls allegedly made by the raiders during the incident.

A man accused of taking part in a €2.28m tiger raid five years ago paid €10,000 in cash for a car a month after the robbery, a court has heard.
