The latest chapter in the Sophie Toscan du Plantier case opened in Dublin today. 

Ms Du Plantier was killed in a brutal manner at her holiday home outside Schull, west Cork on December 23, 1996. The case is still en route to somewhere, for Ms Du Plantier’s family, and for the man who has been convicted in France of her murder, Ian Bailey.
