DNA matching that of Kevin Lunney and one accused found in van, court told

Dr Edward Connolly of Forensic Science Ireland told Sean Guerin SC, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, that on October 31st, 2019 he attended the examination of a Renault Kangoo van that the prosecution alleges three of the accused used to travel to and from Cavan on the day of the abduction.

From the swabs taken from the bars behind the driver’s seat, he was able to generate a profile that matched that of the accused man, Darren Redmond. Mr Lunney has told the court that he was bundled into the boot of a car near his home and driven to a container where he was threatened and told to resign as a director of Quinn Industrial Holdings.

The witness agreed with defence counsel Michael O’Higgins SC, for YZ, that gardaí carried out a technical examination involving a “full forensic sweep” of the Kangoo van two days before Dr Connolly identified blood using the luminol test. Under reexamination, Dr Connolly told Mr Guerin that he complied with all requests for further information from scientists hired by the accused men. He was not asked to carry out any further tests or examinations.
