The jury in the trial of a 35-year-old man accused of kidnapping a Drogheda postal worker, his partner and their ten-week-old baby daughter before robbing €660,000 from the man's workplace will resume deliberating on Monday.
Jonathan Gill of Malahide Road, Swords, Dublin, has pleaded not guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to the false imprisonment Warren Nawn, Jean Marie Nawn and their ten-week-old baby in Drogheda in August 2011.
The prosecution alleged that Mr Gill was one of a group of five who were involved in holding the family hostage in their own home before moving them to a shed about a 90-minute drive away.
Prosecuting lawyers said the evidence against Mr Gill was almost entirely circumstantial but taken together conclusively proves his guilt.
The jury was told there was no evidence placing Mr Gill at the crime scenes or any forensic evidence directly linking him to the offence.
The prosecution says it can link Mr Gill to the kidnapping by showing his association with two other men who are forensically linked to the crime as well as showing a car linked to Mr Gill was in the area of the kidnapping on the day in question.
Defence counsel has told the jury there is no evidence to link him to the crime.
