Ian Bailey

[Clubcard]

What a nut job.

Anyone watch the interview on tv3 last night.

Ian Bailey is a man with a proven track record of extreme violence against women. Sophies death was shocking, battered to death by somebody swinging a breeze block. I have no doubts whatsoever.

What is a ‘breeze block’ , please ?

[Airbusdriver]

Cant seem to upload image! Google & you will seem them, hallow blocks, you can lift up by holding the middle with one hand but quite heavy, would take a big strong man to swing one around...

if he did it or not - taken to the grave. (unless the wife comes out with it, doubt it)

Ian Bailey, who was the chief suspect in the murder of French woman Sophie Toscan du Plantier, has died.

She was found murdered outside her west Cork home near Schull on the morning of 23 December 1996.

His death has been confirmed by his solicitor Frank Buttimer.

It is understood Mr Bailey, 66, collapsed this afternoon in Bantry where he lived.

Emergency services were called to assist him, but he was unresponsive.

Mr Buttimer said he was extremely saddened to hear the news of Mr Bailey's death.

He said he had known him for 27 years and had had a lot of interaction with him in a professional capacity acting for him in a number of legal proceedings.

Mr Bailey, a former journalist, was arrested twice by gardaí investigating Ms Toscan du Plantier's death.

However, the Director of Public Prosecutions decided no charge was to be brought to him in relation to her murder.

He was convicted in his absence of the murder by a French court in 2020 and a 25-year sentence was imposed on him.

However, the High Court in Ireland ruled that he should not be extradited to France to face that jail term.

It was one of several attempts by the French authorities to have him extradited to face charges in the French courts.

Mr Bailey was associated with the killing of Ms du Plantier ever since it occurred 28 years ago, an association he could not shake no matter how many times he protested his innocence over that time.

A number of documentaries were made about her death.

In 2021, Netflix made a three-part series about the killing and the Irish film producer and writer Jim Sheridan also made a documentary about it entitled 'Murder At The Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie'.

I didn’t realise that Netflix and made a documentary on him?

I honestly have no clue about this, in my opinion there is no smoke without fire and I believe that oftentimes Gardaí can know who is responsible for something but simply not have enough physical evidence to bring it to court I honestly don’t know he may be at the Pearly Gates this evening or he may be elsewhere. . .

Wonder if his wife will tell anything now. But I doubt...

[MichelleFox]
