Based on a true story.

a true crime tale of the killing of a British family al-Hilli

saad and Iqbal a married couple from Surrey and her mum suhaila were killed in a violent attack

their two daughters zainab 7 and seems 4 survived

a French cyclist sylvain was also at the scene and shot

they were shot dead whole holidaying in the French alps

ten years later their murder is still unsolved

weirdly enough the wife iqbel was once known as Kelly and was married to a man called James Thompson

he died the same day miles away. His sister judy think he was poisoned ………

was it a crime of passion , political assassination or homicidal family feud

I too think probably Mollier or a random attack.
The poor al Hillis caught in literally the crossfire.

I remember at the time thinking it must be to do with Mollier. Had the family not been Iraqi then I think the original investigation would have taken a different path.

Yes I watched it and remember it at the time. It seemed to be pointing to the brother ordering the hit over an inheritance dispute. Sounds plausible to me although how would a hitman know they would be driving along that road at that time and they would stop the car and park exactly where hitman was hiding. All very strange!
i missed if the two girls survived ok and presumably if so they will inherit their parents house? ( if that is what it was about?)
no answers really. I did not know that about the wife’s ex husband. That is a very weird co incidence.

Just started watching this now on All4. Surely if it was over inheritance they would have ensured the kids were killed?

The killer only hit Zainab on the head, he didn’t shoot her.

Sorry, I meant Zainab (thankfully) wasn’t shot in the head like the adults.
