Lunney was told to resign or be killed, court hears

Three of the men charged with kidnapping and causing serious harm to the QIH director Kevin Lunney were "directly physically involved" in the attack while the fourth helped with the planning and execution of the crime, the Special Criminal Court heard today.

Prosecuting Counsel Sean Guerin said in his opening statement today that the attack on Kevin Lunney was done in connection with the affairs of Quinn Industrial Holdings, his role as a director and some litigation he was involved in. A third man arrived in a black car, a Stanley knife was held to Mr Lunney's neck and he was threatened that he would be killed before being bundled into the boot and driven away.

He was told he was there because of Quinn Industrial Holdings and told that he and other named directors had to resign. Mr Lunney’s hand were tied with cable ties and two men left. Mr Lunney heard a car starting and thinks he was left alone for about 15 minutes.The court heard a thick liquid was then poured over his hands, his clothes were removed, bleach was poured over his body and he was given a cloth and told to ‘rub hard.’ It was also squirted on his face underneath his face covering.The court then heard that Mr Lunney was told he would be let go but had to be "roughed up" first.
