Ian Bailey RIP

He died earlier from a heart attack, very curious guy whatever you think of him. If he didn’t kill Sophie Toscan du Plantier he certainly didn’t help himself by his attention seeking behaviour.

Presumably you are responding to my comment in which case you should re-read what I posted because your response woukd suggest you didn’t read it properly...
There is no evidence that the garda investigation put much, if any, effort into looking at other suspects compared to Bailey.

The answers to.how Bailey was first identified as a suspect should be covered in the Garda Jobs Book for the investigation. But someone tampered with that specific area and ripped out those pages.
Doesnt suggest a proper investigation.

I think it was a combination of Bailey's personality, an incompetent police force as well as anti-English attitudes in the Ireland of the mid 90ies. Also historic / long term local residents vs blow-ins may have been at play.
