Family seek full scientific reconstruction

The family of Sophie Toscan du Plantier want Garda cold case experts to complete a full scientific reconstruction of the investigation into her death.

The French woman was murdered 16 years ago, just two days before Christmas, close to her holiday home in Schull, West Cork.

Detective Superintendent Christy Mangan, who heads the Garda Serious Crime Review Team met Sophie’s uncle, Jean Pierre Gazeau and the family’s lawyer, Alain Spilliaert, to discuss plans to review the case in Dublin yesterday.
