Officer told Bailey he would be shot, court told

An Englishman suing the Irish state for wrongful arrest in connection with the murder of a French film-maker was told he would be shot dead if he could not be framed, a court has heard.
Ian Bailey (aged 57) a former freelance journalist born in Manchester, was arrested twice over the killing of Sophie Toscan du Plantier outside her holiday home on a remote west Cork hillside on the morning of December 23, 1996.
