Unusual phonecall pattern between two accused, tiger-raid trial told

A forensics expert has told the trial of two men accused of taking part in a €2.28m tiger raid that the pattern of telephone calls between two of the suspects was unusual in the run up to the robbery.

David Byrne (aged 39), of Old Brazeel Way, Knocksedan, Swords, Co Dublin and Niall Byrne (aged 29), of Crumlin Road Flats, Crumlin Rd, Dublin are alleged to have been members of a gang that held Mr Richardson, a Securicor worker, and his family hostage as part of a raid in March 2005.
