Bailey made cut-throat gestures, claims shopkeeper

A Schull shopkeeper claimed today that she saw Ian Bailey in the early hours of the morning of Sophie Toscan du Plantier’s murder about a mile from the deceased’s home.

Marie Farrell, who ran an ice-cream parlour at the time, said that between 2.30am and 3am on December 23, 1996, she saw a man at Kealfadda Bridge walking along the edge of the road, appearing to stagger and with his arms waving.
