The family of murdered French woman Sophie Toscan du Plantier have spoken of their hopes for tomorrow’s High Court decision over the possible extradition of Ian Bailey to France to face trial for her killing.

Mr Justice Paul Burns will have the last word on whether the Englishman’s future lies in France, or if he can remain in his adopted home in west Cork.

The French authorities have already had two failed attempts to extradite Bailey to Paris and put him on trial for murder.
