FOR a man with a 25-year murder sentence hanging over his head, Ian Bailey seems remarkably chipper.
The 64-year-old, who was convicted of killing French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier, is sitting in his local pub when he tells the Sun breezily: “I keep on keeping on.”
Sophie was 39 when she was pummelled beyond recognition with a breeze block close to her remote Irish holiday cottage in December 1996.
Bailey was twice arrested by Irish police for her murder but never charged.
