The three-judge court found that when the convicted man ordered the CCTV footage to be destroyed, he knew there would be a major criminal investigation including an examination of his role in these events. Sentencing Mansfield Jnr, presiding judge Mr Justice Alexander Owens said that the defendant had decided to suppress the potential evidence of his involvement with “notorious kidnapper” O’Hare and Duffy and that his actions fell into the category of “foolish and selfish criminality, whose efforts did not succeed”. The court noted that Mansfield Jnr “stood and watched” as his former security guard Martin Byrne was taken by the notorious criminals and “placed in great danger”. The one-time property magnate had ordered the destruction of CCTV footage showing him with a former employee on the morning the employee was kidnapped by republican terrorists Dessie O’Hare and Declan ‘Whacker’ Duffy. Last February, the Special Criminal Court jailed Jim Mansfield Jnr in an unrelated case for 18 months.
