Ireland’s High Court on Monday rejected a third attempt by the French authorities to extradite a British man in connection with a long-running unsolved murder case.
Ian Bailey was convicted in his absence at a French court last year of killing Sophie Toscan du Plantier, whose body was found outside her holiday home in southern Ireland in 1996.
The victim, who was 39 at the time, was the wife of French film producer Daniel Toscan du Plantier. She was found wearing night clothes and had been beaten on the head with a concrete block.
