Bailey witness claims garda harassment

A KEY witness who sensationally withdrew statements in the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder investigation has written to the Director of Public Prosecutions claiming her family were "unfairly treated" by gardaí.

In the letter, Marie Farrell named a garda she claims warned her that she and her family "would not have a day's peace no matter where they went in the country".

A district judge yesterday directed the letter should be released to the media.
