CRIME scene examiners found human blood on the floor of the horsebox where businessman Kevin Lunney was allegedly imprisoned and tortured, the Special Criminal Court has heard. Luke O’Reilly (67), from Mullahoran Lower, Kilcogy, Co Cavan, is accused of providing “material assistance in the planning and execution of the offences," and owned the land where Mr Lunney was allegedly held. They all face the same charges of false imprisonment and causing serious harm to Mr Lunney at Drumbrade, Ballinagh, Co Cavan, on September 17, 2019, which they deny. A crane removed the blue horsebox and a white trailer in front of it. Defence lawyers are challenging the admissibility of evidence related to the yard search.
