Tiger kidnapping accused wants to ‘live a normal life’

A man accused of taking part in a tiger kidnapping of a family has succeeded in having his bail conditions relaxed “so he can live a normal life”.

Jonathan Gill, aged 38, is accused of abducting an An Post worker and his family and forcing the victim to take €661,125 from his work. The family, including a 10-month old baby, were held at gunpoint overnight.

Mr Gill, a father of two of Malahide Rd, Coolock, Dublin, is charged with falsely imprisoning post office worker Warren Nawn, 37, his partner Jean Marie Matthews, 36, and their daughter in Drogheda between August 1 and 2, 2011.
