Husband speaks of terror kidnapping by gang at family home

A CO Limerick couple yesterday spoke of their terror tiger kidnapping at the hands of an armed gang who threatened and assaulted them.

James and Lelia Beechinor, who own the Xpress Stop Service Station in Kilmallock, were held hostage by four masked men who threatened them with a shotgun, a handgun and a knife.

After breaking into their private home at Sheerin’s Cross on Sunday night the gang threatened the couple when they could not find any money.
