Ian Bailey arrested on suspicion of drink driving
Ian Bailey has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and was tonight being detained in Bantry Garda Station.
The journalist and writer, 62, was found guilty in absentia by a court in France earlier this year of the murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier near her holiday home in Schull in December 1996. Mr Bailey has consistently denied any involvement in her death and refused to attend the trial, the holding of which was also strongly criticised by his solicitor, Frank Buttimer.
