Quote - A missing Irish property developer has been found wandering, lost and emaciated on a country road, eight months after he disappeared.

Kevin McGeever, 68, is recovering in hospital in Mullingar, County Westmeath.

He was found barefoot, ragged and with an abusive word carved into his head.

Weird story. Was he kidnapped, if so by whom, or is it a set-up? What do we the think the word carved into his head is?

[Ciaran]

"Thief" apparently

[greygoose]

Sounds like he had an ungrateful client or two.


"They went to the local garda station and they got him tea and biscuits."

Nice to know Mrs Doyle got a new job after Craggy Island.

You'd think if you'd do that to someone who had ripped you off you'd go the extra yard and kill them.

All rather strange.

Are there three more suspicion-inducing words than "Irish property developer"?

Perhaps "Nigerian financial advisor" I suppose.

Sending a message and making the man live in fear for the rest of his days?

Kidnapped by Aldo?

Possible but what's more likely is that he'll cough up enough information to get his captors nicked.

Since when have the IRA or Russian mafia chaps been reluctant to kill people?

The word will be 'Gobste', it's a favourite out there.

Comments like that were considered to be absolutely hilarious in the 1970's.

Possibly a bluff - though not sure what he has to gain from pretending to be kidnapped. Does he owe alot of money?

"Businessman" seems to be used as code for "dodgy geezer" in some of the papers, for sure.
