Speculation that estranged husband is key to Judge kidnap

THEY came in the dead of night to snatch mother-of-three Helen Judge, grabbing her from the modest bungalow in Kildare she shared with two sons and their grandmother.

The 41-year-old was bundled into the back of a waiting car and driven to an isolated outhouse, reportedly near Drogheda.

The kidnappers apparently did not give her enough time to collect extra clothes she had apparently just her nightclothes but had the presence of mind to grab her mobile phone.
