Forensics hope to shed light on botched ‘tiger’ kidnaps

GARDAÍ are hoping forensic examinations into two botched ‘tiger kidnappings’ in the last two days may yield vital clues.

In the latest incident, the family of a postmistress escaped unharmed after the van they were held in broke down and the kidnappers fled.

On Tuesday, a postmistress escaped from a van after her captor dozed off after taking drugs.
