I WON'T TAKE BAILEY BACK

Ex-partner of murder suspect says 'we've gone separate ways

IAN Bailey's former partner Jules Thomas yesterday said she won't take him back if he is made homeless.

The 66-year-old was given notice to quit his apartment in Bantry, West Cork, before Christmas but was able to remain there due to the eviction ban.

The lifting of the ban yesterday means Mr Bailey, who was arrested twice over the 1996 murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier, will soon have nowhere to live.

Yesterday, Ms Thomas said she no longer speaks to Mr Bailey and won't be offering him a place to stay.
