France shootings: Police to search Saad al-Hilli home
Police plan to search the al-Hilli family home as part of their investigation
The
home of a British man shot dead in the French Alps along with his wife
and two others is to be searched by police, a French prosecutor has
said.
Eric Maillaud said French and British officers were set to
enter the family home of Iraqi-born businessman Saad al-Hilli, 50, in
Claygate, south London.He and his wife were among those killed near Lake Annecy on Wednesday.
Mr al-Hilli's brother, Zaid, has told UK police there was no dispute over "financial matters".
French police have said a family dispute about money is one of their lines of inquiry, based on "credible information" coming from the British police.
Mr Maillaud said French officers would interview Mr al-Hilli's brother in the UK as a "witness".
Three police officers from France are believed to be in the UK to investigate the shooting and a fourth officer is due to arrive later.
Surrey Police said it was helping French authorities to carry out a "complex" investigation.
