Ian Bailey — still looking over shoulder

What if Mr Bailey woke up one day on the beaches of Normandy...? writes Michael Clifford

DIETER Krombach must haunt Ian Bailey’s worst nightmare. In 2009, the German doctor was beaten up, bound and gagged and thrust into a van. His assailants were Russian criminals hired to kidnap Herr Krombach from his native Germany and deliver him across the border to France.

This they did for a fee of €20,000, paid by Frenchman Andre Bamberski. For 30 years Bamberski had pursed the German whom he believed was responsible for the killing of his 14-year–old daughter Kalinka in 1987. The girl’s death occurred in Germany, where her mother was living with the doctor.
