Fresh appeal for information in du Plantier case

THE superintendent heading the investigation into the 1996 murder of Frenchwoman Sophie Toscan du Plantier near the West Cork town of Schull yesterday vowed to catch her killer.

Making a fresh appeal for information, Supt Liam Horgan said the gardaí owe it to her parents to bring the killer to justice.

“The file sits on my desk; I see it every day. It’s never out of my mind or the minds of the gardaí in Schull. The file cannot be put away - it will never be put away,” he said.
