Ms Toscan du Plantier's son, Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud said he was very pleased to learn that Garda Commissioner Drew Harris had sanctioned the cold case review following the receipt of a report from Assistant Commissioner John O'Driscoll

"I am very happy there is to be a full cold case review and I have big expectations that hopefully the next few months will see developments which, for all of us, Ireland, France and my mother's family, will finalise this story in a way that will finally get justice for my mother," he said.

Mr Baudey-Vignaud said he was surprised to receive a phone call yesterday from Supt Joe Moore informing him of the decision.
