Escaped criminals jailed for six years.
(From Newsletter)
TWO Opotentially dangerousO criminals, who initially escaped with still-on-the-run killer David Taggart, were jailed yesterday for six years each.
However, Crown Court judge Mr Justice Weatherup told the pair that two years of their sentence will be served on probation to enable them to take part in a new programme designed to curb violent criminal behaviour.
The Downpatrick judge, sitting in Belfast, said the programme should help to turn them away from crime in the future.
Both 34-year-old Ian Oliver Carlin, from New Barnsley Parade, and Colin OOBrien, 33, from Clonfadden Crescent, both Belfast, were jailed after pleading guilty to holding three men prisoner on August 29, 2002, and stealing one of the menOs cars.
Prosecuting lawyer Donna McColgan revealed that an apologetic OOBrien had comforted one of their captives when he went into shock.
She told the court that initially Carlin and OOBrien had taken two of the men prisoner outside their friendOs home, while claiming to be from the Provisional IRA.
