Gardai say it will be at least a year at the earliest before there are developments in the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder enquiry.
Detectives are following up all the new leads arising from the two recent television documentaries on the case and interviewing each of the people individually involved. But they are also going through thousands of files containing every statement made in relation to the case.
It is understood this includes the several people who claimed that initial Garda suspect Ian Bailey confessed to them in different ways that he killed Sophie. Among them are a local man Richie Shelly and his wife Rosie.
