Police End Search Of Surrey Home Of Family Killed In French Alps
The search of the home in Surrey of a British family murdered in the French Alps almost three weeks ago has been completed, police have said..
Detectives have been searching the house for clues for the past two weeks, pulling out on Monday.
Saad al-Hilli, 50, was shot and killed along with his wife Iqbal, 47, his mother-in-law and a cyclist near Annecy. Daughters Zainab, seven, and Zeena, four, survived.
A joint task force of French and British officers was formed to investigate the killings.
Surrey Police said although the initial search of the house had ended, inquiries remained active and officers would still be guarding the property.
The investigative team, comprising the Surrey force, French police and French magistrates, aims to speed the flow of information between the two countries.
Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud, said the team would have full access to the case "as if there were no borders", but admitted progress had been slow.
"It is an investigation that risks lasting an enormously long time," he said.
"Often investigators have a theory in the first hours of an investigation. This time we have no idea."
