Relative of family murdered in French Alps criticises police probe

A relative of the British-Iraqi family shot dead in the Alps last month has criticised the French police’s murder investigation.

Ahmed al-Saffar, the uncle of the woman shot dead along with her husband, her mother and a cyclist, said investigators had concentrated on the possible involvement of the family while other lines of inquiry had been dismissed.

“I think the French prosecutor also focused on the family without presenting any evidence. It’s kind of wild speculation,” he said.
