Mystery DNA found at French Alps crime scene may lead to killer

Mystery DNA found at the scene of a quadruple murder in the French Alps could be that of the killer, police revealed today.

The vital breakthrough comes more than seven months after members of a British family were gunned down in an isolated beauty spot close to Lake Annecy.

It is being analysed at two laboratories in France and will enable detectives to step up their international manhunt for the murderer.

Saad Al-Hilli, 50, died alongside his wife Ikbal, 47, and his mother-in-law Suhalia Al-Allaf, 74, in their BMW car on September 5.

Sylvain Mollier, a 45-year-old French cyclist was also killed in the bloodbath, which is believed to have been carried out by at least one gunman brandishing a pistol.

Now Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud has confirmed that ‘unidentified DNA’ was found on ‘elements at the scene’.

These are believed to include spent gun cartridges and even parts of the murder weapon which mysteriously broke during the attack.

The DNA does not match any of the people who first arrived at the scene of the killings, including British cyclist Brett Martin – an ex RAF Serviceman who raised the alarm – and three French hikers.

Now Mr Maillaud has asked for saliva samples of all the police and medics who dealt with the early investigation.

This is to ensure that the scene was not contaminated with their DNA – something which the authorities made every effort to avoid.

The DNA is being analysed by scientists at the gendarmes national criminal research institute, the IRCGN, near Paris.

Samples have also been delivered to Christian Doutremepuich, a professor who runs a state-of-the-art laboratory in Bordeaux, in south west France.

Mr Maillaid said the research protocols of the two centres were very different – ensuring the best possible chance of linking the DNA with the killer.

‘This is a classic procedure,’ said Mr Maillaud. ‘It means that we do not put all our eggs in one basket.’

Mr Maillaud said that they needed to ensure the DNA was not a result of ‘pollution at the scene’ before making an effort to link it with known hitmen and other criminals who may be living abroad.

The aim is to build up a complete database of everyone who approached the Al-Hilli’s car, and the surrounding areas, said Mr Maillaud, who said that a tight security perimeter had been put in place within hours of the crime.

It was so tight that Zeena, Mr Al-Hilli’s four-year-old daughter, was left alone in the car for a whole night, alone and undiscovered, until IRCGN scientists arrived.

Saad Al-Hilli, 50, his wife Iqbal, 47, and her 74-year-old mother Suhaila Al-Allaf, were laid to rest in the same grave in November

Zeena escaped the attack unscathed, but her seven-year-old sister, Zainab, suffered head injuries after being pistol whipped in the attack and was also shot in the shoulder.

Both little girls are now in the hands of social services in the UK, close to their original family home in Claygate, Surrey, with surviving members of the Al-Hilli family only allowed limited access to them.

There have been no arrests since the murders happened, with Mr Maillaud admitting that the baffling case ‘may never be solved’.

He recently ordered a visit by investigators to Iraq, which is where the Al-Hillis originally came from, but this has been delayed because of security worries.

Last month Zaid-Al Hilli, the 53-year-old brother of Mr Al-Hilli, was interrogated by detectives close to his home in Chessington, Surrey.

French prosecutors consider Zaid a key figure in the case because of an alleged bitter dispute with his brother over a family inheritance.

He has, in turn, continually insisted that he is completely innocent of any wrong-doing, and said he had a good relationship with his brother. Source: Dailymail.co.uk
