Bailey relieved at witnesses move

Ian Bailey today said he is relieved that a woman who made statements implicating him in the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier has now said they were untrue.

Marie Farrell testified during a libel action by Mr Bailey that she saw him at Kealfadda Bridge, close to Mme du Plantier’s home, on the night the Frenchwoman was murdered in December 1996.
