Annual appeal for information on Sophie Toscan Du Plantier murder

The Frenchwoman was brutally killed at her holiday home in West Cork 26 years ago

Someone who was not in a position to tell Gardai what they know about the murder of Sophie Toscan Du Plantier in 1996 can still come forward.

Gardai have today renewed their appeal for information into the case - Sophie was beaten to death in West Cork almost 26 years ago.

Ian Bailey has been arrested in connection with the investigation twice, but no charges were ever brought against him in Ireland

Detective Superintendent Des McTiernan is the Head of the Garda Serious Crime Review Team, he says every avenue like new forensic technology is on the table.

beaten'We would be foolish not to consider any forensic development.

We are working in very close contact with our colleagues at Forensic Science Ireland and the Garda Technical Bureau , so I'm quite happy we're not going to miss any forensic opportunity that potentially exists out there.'
