Ian Bailey extradition hearing to go ahead next week
Summary
A hearing to decide whether Ian Bailey should be extradited to France to face a voluntary homicide charge over the death of Sophie Toscan du Plantier will take place next Wednesday. Bailey's legal team has finished their submissions and is ready to proceed. The hearing follows a European Arrest Warrant issued by French authorities. Bailey, 60, denies any involvement in the 1996 murder of Ms du Plantier, who was found beaten to death outside her holiday home in Schull, west Cork. French officials have already served him with an indictment and may try him in absentia.
