Ian Bailey was planning a “defence of insanity” in the aftermath of the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder, it has been claimed.

A retired West Cork cheesemaker confirmed in the wake of Bailey’s death on Sunday that the prime suspect in the killing of the 39-year-old French woman in 1996 was prepared to appear insane.
