Ian Bailey, a
British former journalist, faces extradition from
Ireland to
France where he faces 25 years in
prison for allegedly murdering the French film-maker Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
Bailey, 62, was arrested and bailed on Monday after the high court in
Dublin endorsed a European arrest warrant issued by a
Paris court, the latest twist in a famous cold case that has divided public and legal opinion.
