Eric\u00a0Maillaud prosecutor investigating the murder committed in the French Alps came to England, but I wonder why this is not looking for the murderer in his own country ?<\/h1>\n

Prosecutor Eric Maillaud is travelling with examining magistrate Michel Mollin, another senior member of the inquiry team.<\/p>\n

They will join a number of French investigators already in Britain to help unravel the mystery surrounding the deaths of engineer Saad al Hilli, his wife Iqbal, and mother-in-law – named in reports as Suhaila al Allaf – who were shot dead in a remote beauty spot close to Lake Annecy a week ago.<\/p>\n

Mr Maillaud said a large part of the investigation was taking place in the UK and that French authorities believe there could be a “great number of clues” in Britain, although he refused to be drawn on the main area of the inquiry’s focus.<\/p>\n

Investigators are focusing on three specific areas – Mr al Hilli’s work, his family and his native Iraq.<\/p>\n

The latter has been at the centre of considerable attention and Mr Maillaud said a “specialised” team was tasked with examining Mr al Hilli’s links to the country.<\/p>\n

He said: “The fact that he was born in Iraq, that he had family in Iraq, of course that’s something that is of interest and we are asking ourselves if there is a link between that and his death.<\/p>\n

He added: “There are specialised people as far as Iraq is concerned who are looking at it … people who know who to contact in order to be able to work with that country so, for example, we have a security attache we are working with.”<\/p>\n

Mr Maillaud will visit the al Hilli family home in Claygate, Surrey, in the afternoon as part of his 24-hour trip.<\/p>\n

Officers have been examining a safe at the mock-Tudor house which has been the subject of intense police searches for five days.<\/p>\n

Mr Maillaud said the victims’ bodies have now been returned to their families and that he will meet police officers and Crown Prosecution Service officials in the UK.<\/p>\n

The al Hillis’ daughters survived the shootings – though seven-year-old Zainab was shot and so brutally beaten that doctors placed her in a medically-induced coma.<\/p>\n

French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, who apparently stumbled across the attack, was also shot dead.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
