Gardaí yet to contact kidnapped woman’s husband

GARDAÍ investigating the kidnapping of a mother-of-three from her home were last night considering whether to contact her estranged husband.

Helen Judge's former partner Liam Judge ran away to Spain with his girlfriend the daughter of crime boss John Gilligan after his marriage broke up 18 months ago.

Garda sources yesterday confirmed they had not yet contacted Mr Judge and said any decision to do so would be part of the investigation.
