The jury in the trial of two men accused of kidnapping a family and stealing €2.28m has failed to reach a verdict today.

David Byrne (aged 39) of Old Brazeel Way in 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 Securicor employee Paul Richardson and his family hostage as part of a raid in March 2005.
