Two men charged in Pattison abduction supply surprise end to kidnapping case A SURPRISE close to the Cynthia Kilburn kidnapping case occurred Monday in B.C. Supreme Court when two men plezded guilty to charges related to Kilburn’s Dec. 21, 1990 abduction. Kilburn, 30, is better known as the daughter of West Vancouver millionaire Jim Pattison. Chadwick Shayne Mulvahill, 22, of no fixed address, and Christian Saclgzrove, 20, of North Van- couver, ended what was supposed to be a six-week trial by_ rising from the prisoner's box before ar By Robin Brunet Contributing Writer {l-man jury and pleading guilty to. kidnapping, extortion and untawful confinement charges laid against them in connection with Kilburn’s abduction. They entered their pleas minutes before Kilburn was scheduled to take the stand and recail her 14- hour ordeal in the hands of the kidnappers. Mulvahill and Snelgrove were the last two individuals charged in the case to be tried. In earlier trials, Chad Kart Dafoe, 20, of Richmond was sentenced to one month in jail on a charge of possessing stolen property, and Sheldon Frederick Kwan, 19, of North Vancouver was fined $2,500 after he was found guilty of possessing money connected with the kidnapping. Four juveniles were sentenced earlier on various counts of kid- napping and possession of ransom money. During the five-day trial Mr. Justice K.E. Meredith heard RCMP tape recordings of tele- phone calls between Cynthia Kilburn’s husband, Allan Kilburn, and Mulvahill, in which Mulvahill instructed Kilburn to get $200,000 from his father-in-law. Further catls made by Mulvahill instructed Kilburn to drop the money off at the downtown Van- couver Bay department store. During one conversation Mulvahill tersely informed Kilburn he would receive only a tape re- cording of his wife in exchange for the $200,000. More money would be required for her release. Jason Manchester, 20, who was allegedly asked by the accused to join the kidnap scheme, told Supreme Court last Thursday a fansom note typed by Mulvahill indicated the release fee was $10 million. The note also said that Cynthia Kilburn would be buried in a cof- fin and left to starve if the ransom money was not paid. Manchester said he declined the offer to participate in the scheme and instead introduced Mulvahill! See Suspect page &
