Ian Bailey



Briton given 25-year jail term over 1996 Irish murder by French court

  • The Irish government has refused to send Bailey to stand trial, saying he was twice arrested for questioning by Irish police but never charged for lack of sufficient evidence
  • An editor at The Sunday Tribune newspaper in Ireland sent a statement to the court alleging that Bailey had told her he had killed Toscan du Plantier to resurrect his journalism career
