Tiger-kidnap victim 'could not drive with tears' while family was held

A cash-in-transit driver whose family were held hostage during a tiger-kidnapping six years ago has told a trial that he couldn't drive his van during the incident because he was crying so much.

David Byrne (aged 39), of Old Brazeel Way, Knocksedan, Swords, Co Dublin and Niall Byrne (aged 29), of Crumlin Road Flats, Crumlin Rd, Dublin have both pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to falsely imprisoning the Richardson family at Ashcroft, Raheny, north Dublin city on March 13 and 14, 2005 and one count of robbery.
