The Special Criminal Court yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of a key prosecution witness who failed to turn up for the trial of a Dundalk man charged with kidnapping him.
The warrant was issued for the arrest of Mr Seamus Cudden (18) after the court heard that he had gone missing from his home on Monday evening.
The trial of Mr Stephen Boyle (26), of Grange Close, Muirhevnamore was adjourned until today. He pleads not guilty to falsely imprisoning Mr Cudden on 30th, 1995.
