Gardaí probe ‘very bizarre’ kidnap case

Gardaí said the alleged kidnapping of a property developer was a “very bizarre” case and they were struggling to get their heads around it.

Some Garda sources said they believed Kevin Michael McGeever had gone through a “traumatic experience” and that it appeared it had been “imposed on him” by other people.

The Mayo businessman was picked up on a lonely border road in Co Leitrim in a barefoot and dishevelled state last Tuesday. He subsequently claimed he was abducted, held captive, and tortured for eight months in a shipping container.
