Alps shooting girl out of coma

A young girl who was in a coma after her parents were gunned down in the French Alps today recovered consciousness, while her four-year-old sister returned to the UK with relatives.

Saad al-Hilli, 50, was killed in his car alongside his dentist wife, Iqbal, on Wednesday while the couple’s seven-year-old daughter Zainab narrowly escaped death after being shot and beaten. Her younger sister Zeena lay undiscovered under her mother’s corpse for eight hours.
