Nine years for man who helped kidnap couple and their 10-week-old baby

Mrs Nawn was told to “shut the baby up” when it cried and was told by one raider that if her husband did not comply they would have to “try for another baby”.

A man who participated in the tiger kidnap of a postal worker and his family has been sentenced to nine years in prison.

The court heard that Mark McCarthy (32) was acting under duress when he held the family hostage prior to the An Post employee being forced to hand over €661,125 from Drogheda Post Office where he worked.
