FRENCH and British police yesterday searched the United Kingdom home of a British-Iraqi family brutally slain while vacationing in the French Alps, as investigators searching for a motive looked into a possible dispute between siblings.
The brother of the man shot dead with his wife and two other people came forward to British police on Friday and denied any conflict in the family, French prosecutors say.
Authorities have identified the dead as mechanical design engineer Saad al Hilli and his wife, Ikbal, based partly on the testimony of their four-year-old daughter Zeena, who survived unhurt by hiding under her mother's skirt as some 25 automatic-handgun rounds were fired.
French agency Sipa reported that four French investigators had arrived in Britain on Friday night. TV footage yesterday showed police in forensic gear snapping pictures of the home of Saad al Hilli in the village of Claygate, Surrey.
