Judge to sentence man in connection with tiger kidnapping

A Longford resident is to be sentenced later this week for possessing part of a €7.66m bank heist following the tiger kidnapping of a bank employee, his girlfriend and her family last year.

Gardaí accepted that 40-year-old Mark Donoghue, who was caught with €1.74m later that same day, did not know that the victims had been held at gunpoint in their Kildare home the previous night.
