French Alps murder investigation takes new twist - Mystery biker is suspect


A motorcyclist spotted by a British witness near the scene of a massacre was yesterday revealed as the main suspect.
 
The biker was seen riding from the area by ex-RAF serviceman Brett Martin, 53, just before he found a British family and a cyclist dead in a remote lay-by in the French Alps.
Mr Martin said the rider was in a full-face helmet and black clothes, and the engine may have been white.
It matches descriptions given by a farmer and forest workers four miles from the September shooting in Chevaline, near Lake Annecy.
Prosecutor Eric Maillaud urged the motorcyclist to “make himself known as soon as possible”.
The bodies of Saad al-Hilli, 50, of Claygate, Surrey, wife Iqbal, 47, and her mum Suhaila al-Allaf, 74, were found in a BMW.
His two daughters survived.
French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also found dead next to the car.
At the time prosecutor Mr Maillaud said the massacre was, “a dramatic crime scene like we see on the TV”.
French police yesterday confirmed that - despite numerous appeals - neither the motorcycle nor its rider has been traced.
Mr Martin had been riding his mountain bike up a steep road above the French village of Chevaline when he arrived at Le Martinet car park at about 3.30pm.
