Pair released after court rules phone records cannot be used in €2.28m tiger raid case

Two men previously jailed for taking part in a 2005 tiger raid have been found not guilty after a “dramatic” ruling that mobile phone records cannot be used as evidence in the case.

Mark Farrelly (aged 43) and Christopher Corcoran (aged 67) were convicted in 2009 of kidnapping cash-in-transit van driver Paul Richardson and his family during a €2.28m robbery.
