Alps attack daughter, 4, returns to Britain

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.

Zeena al Hilli was accompanied by an aunt and uncle, a source close to the investigation said on condition of anonymity.

She and her seven-year-old sister Zainab were the only survivors of an attack that saw her father Saad al Hilli, mother Ikbal, and an elderly female relative gunned down in their car. A passing cyclist was also killed.
