A group seeking truth about the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier has said the exhumation of the her remains has revealed nothing.

The Association for the Truth About the Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier (ASSOPH) said in a statement that while the Irish authorities undertook to send the Du Plantier investigation file to the French authorities this has not happened.

ASSOPH say this is 'bogged down in an obscure transfer procedure'.

The association calls for the French-Irish agreements on Sophie's case to be openly explained and justified.

Ms Toscan du Plantier was found beaten to death on 23 December 1996 in Schull, Co Cork. She was 39.

No one has ever been charged with her murder.
