Journalist launches murder case libel appeal

A journalist who was arrested in a high profile murder case in Ireland, but never charged, begins a libel appeal against five newspapers today. Ian Bailey was twice arrested for questioning about the murder of Ms Toscan du Plantier, a Frenchwoman whose badly beaten body was found near her Cork holiday home in 1996. Three years ago Bailey lost an action against the newspapers for their allegedly libellous coverage. His appeal against that verdict will involve a full re-hearing of the evidence, and the case is expected to last for at least two weeks. (Via Ireland.com)
