The French woman aged in her 60s was resident in Ireland before travelling to Iceland last June, where the alleged murders were committed. She was released from custody in September but was served with a travel ban meaning she cannot leave the country. The new time limit for preventing the woman leaving Iceland has been set for January 30th, 2026. The travel ban was initially extended by a further three months, until the end of February, but this ruling was reduced by the national court this week. As suspects cannot be held in custody for longer than 12 weeks in Iceland, the woman was then served with a travel ban and must report to a police station several times a week.
