Iqbal al-Hilli, her husband, her mother and a cyclist were killed two years ago in the French Alps. It is now well known: the former husband of the woman died the same day in the United States.
It obviously seems to be in the French Alps, a new twist in the case of the quadruple murder. “We have found out some surprising things about Iqbal al-Hilli, and we still have no answers to some of the issues,” said lead investigator Benoit Vinnemann the British “Guardian”. Accordingly, the woman, one of the victims, before her marriage with Saad al-Hilli was married from 1999 to 2000 with a U.S. citizen, told her family about it but nothing.
The crime of Chevaline is considered one of the most mysterious murder cases in recent years. A stranger had shot there in September 2012, the Iraqi-born al-Hilli couple and the mother of the wife on a forest park. Was also killed an apparently random passing by cyclists. Only the two small children living in London the pair survived.
Now it has been known: Iqbal al-Hillis former husband died on September 5, 2012, the day of the quadruple murder in the Alps, in the U.S. state of Mississippi. The official cause of death: heart failure. But investigators Vinnemann can imagine obvious that it was in the parking lot to the 47-year-old in the murder: “Is there a family secret that we have not found it Subject Saad, or at least his wife Iqbal?” Attorney Eric Maillaud told the BBC the other hand, you do not see any connection between the quadruple murder and the death of the ex-husband.
As a hot track so far was a possible dispute over inheritance. The Franco-British team of investigators had them arrested the brother of the slain family father provisionally in June 2013, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder. For a warrant but there was not sufficient incriminating evidence – the investigators had the suspect free again.
The prosecution also pursued contacts of the slain family father in his birth country of Iraq and also included a link to the professional environment of the British not. He worked in the aerospace industry.
In February, a man was arrested in the meantime. Suspicions would not be corroborated by interviews and searches of the past few days, but it was a few days later. It lacked evidence of a “direct connection” between the former police officers and indeed.
Investigators were at the 48-year-old discovered a number of weapons and ammunition. Testimony to phantom images had brought him in connection with the murder. An analysis of mobile data showed that he was staying at the material time in the vicinity of the crime scene.
