Gardaí gave me cannabis to befriend Ian Bailey, former soldier tells court

A former British soldier has told the High Court Gardaí gave him clothes and cannabis to befriend Ian Bailey in a bid to find anything that would link the journalist to Sophie Toscan du Plantier's murder.

Martin Graham was giving evidence in Mr Bailey's action for damages against the State and Garda authorities for alleged wrongful arrest on suspicion of killing the French film producer in 1996.
