TV3 to air documentaries on du Plantier and Karen Buckley murders

Documentaries about two Cork related murders have been included by TV3 in its autumn schedule.

The broadcaster is to produce a series of four programmes about the brutal murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier near her home in West Cork in 1996.

A separate documentary will focus on Karen Buckley, the nursing student from Mourneabbey in Co Cork, who was murdered last April after leaving a nightclub in Glasgow.
