The four-year-old girl who survived the execution-style killing of her family in the French Alps returned to Britain last night, as police again quizzed relatives and scoured the family home.

British police today resumed their search at the home of the family gunned down in the French Alps.

Police investigating the murder of four people in the French Alps have sent four officers to Britain to find out more about victim Saad al Hilli’s life.

A neighbour of the British family who were brutally killed in the French Alps has described Saad al Hilli as a “massively helpful man” and “a wonderful engineer”.

Nearly 24 hours later, there is still no idea why three members of a British family were gunned down in an act of “savagery” in the French Alps.
