Bailey case hears of ‘breakdown’

Paul O’Higgins SC, for the State, said Det Garda Jim Fitzgerald will give evidence he met Martin Graham walking a dog near Russell Barrett’s house outside Skibbereen, where Mr Bailey had gone on the night of February 10-11, 1997, after he was released following his first arrest in connection with the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
Counsel said the evidence would be Mr Bailey was in Mr Barrett’s house until February 12, 1997. Det Fitzgerald will say Mr Graham had said words to the effect, after all that happened in the house, Mr Barrett thinks Ian is guilty too and they were thinking of going down and asking him to give himself up.
