Sophie’s mother vows to continue quest for justice

THE mother of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier, who was brutally beaten to death in West Cork 14 years ago, has vowed to continue her quest for justice for her daughter.

Just days before Ian Bailey is due before the High Court in Dublin to fight an extradition order sought by French authorities investigating the case, Marguerite Bouniol has broken her silence since new developments in the case.

“I’ve had to be twice as strong as anyone. But it’s natural, isn’t it, that I should want my daughter’s murderer to be behind bars?” she said.
