Ian Bailey has said that he suspects there are people responsible for the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier who have not come forward because they are living behind “omerta” - the Southern Italian 'code of silence' usually applied to mafia members.

Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Today show, Mr Bailey said he lived in hope and was trying to be optimistic that someday someone would come forward with information.
