62 years for first tiger kidnap convictions
In the first conviction for a tiger kidnapping, Judge Tony Hunt said this type of crime was a “foul and repulsive cancer” which if not stopped would lead to a parent or child being “maimed or killed”.
He condemned the three kidnappers – Mark Farrelly, Jason Kavanagh and Christopher Corcoran – as “debauched” characters and “spineless men”, who had ripped apart the normal life of a decent family.
