New Channel 4 series, Murder In The Alps, will explore the horrific case of the Annecy shootings, which saw four people lose their lives in 2012. Nearly 10 years on and questions still remain as to what happened during the fateful day.
In September 2012, three members of a British-Iraqi family from Surrey, the al-Hillis, were gunned down in cold blood. A French cyclist who happened upon the scene of the crime was also shot dead. Whilst father Saad, his wife, Iqbal, and her mother Suhalia, succumbed to their injuries, the couple's daughters Zainab and Zeena, survived. Zainab, who was seven-years-old at the time, was attacked by the assailant and her sister Zeena, 4, hid behind her mother's corpse.
The Annecy murders of 2012 have become somewhat of a true-crime mystery. The new Channel 4 three-part documentary series, explores some of the people who could've been responsible for the shootings. Whilst no one has yet been charged, a number of people have been arrested on suspicion of being involved.
