Man phoned gardaí from car boot between beatings

A MAN who was thrown into the boot of a car feared for his life as he was driven to the countryside from Cork city centre and he used his mobile phone to call gardaí from the boot.

Detective Garda Cormac Crotty said Aidan Walsh, 33, who was living at O’Leary Place, Barrack Street, Cork, and originally from Carrigtwohill, pretended to be unconscious after he was beaten for a second time in a field in Inniscarra, Co Cork, after 3am on June 11, 2008.

When two of his captors talked among themselves he escaped.
