Jonathan Gill's kidnap trial adjourned for jury deliberations

By Rory Hanlon

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Jonathan Gill’s kidnap trial was adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, with the jury due to resume deliberations, reported on 7 April 2017. The alleged offences involved the false imprisonment of Warren Nawn, Jean Marie Nawn and their baby in Drogheda in August 2011.

Gill has pleaded not guilty. The prosecution alleged that he was one of five people involved in holding the family hostage before moving them to a shed. The jury was told the evidence was largely circumstantial, while the defence said there was no evidence linking Gill to the crime. The source reports that deliberations were to resume on Monday, but the supplied calendar resolution conflicts with the report date and does not establish a reliable hearing date.
