Du Plantier family gets ready for long fight

SOPHIE Toscan du Plantier’s family expects a lengthy legal battle to get Ian Bailey before a French judge investigating her death.

Sophie’s uncle, Jean Pierre Gazeau, said his family welcomes the weekend arrest of Mr Bailey on foot of a European Arrest Warrant (EAW), which was endorsed by the High Court on Friday.

“We are fully satisfied about what happened,” said Mr Gazeau, who is also president of the Association for the Truth About the Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
