It was almost Christmas and 15-year-old Pierre-Louis Baudey-Vignaud was staying with his grandparents in France. His father woke him in the middle of the night with the shocking news that his mother, Sophie Toscan du Plantier, had been killed at her holiday home in West Cork.
It is a heart-rending moment he relives in a new documentary, describing it as “like an electric shock… I was a little boy, an only child. I was extremely close to mum. It was a sudden transformation from childhood to adulthood. …. A little part of us all crumbled.”
