Three men found guilty of the kidnap and assault of businessman Kevin Lunney have been jailed at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin. Mr Lunney, 51, was kidnapped close to his home in Co Fermanagh on the evening of September 17 2019. The judge said Mr Lunney was assaulted, threatened and taken to an isolated location, where he was tortured by his abductors. Extreme violence was used during the attack and Mr Lunney was stripped of almost all of his clothes. Justice Hunt said Mr Lunney was dumped at the side of road on a chilly September night and “left for dead”.
