Police arrest ‘mountain man’ over French Alps killings

Police in France have arrested a 48-year-old man in connection with the 2012 killings of a British-Iraqi family and a cyclist in the Alps, in their first breakthrough in the case.

Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the man, from the Haute-Savoie region, was detained following the release in November of an identikit image of a mysterious motorcyclist seen near where the quadruple murder took place.
