According to Reuters, Saad al-Hilli, an Iraqi-born British engineer was found shot dead in September 2012 with his wife and mother-in-law in their BMW car on a remote mountain road near the village of Chevaline, with the body of a cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, discovered nearby. They were killed in what appeared to be execution-style murders with at least two hits to the head. A French public prosecutor said that despite the lack of formal evidence, the police now have enough elements to question the victim's brother as a suspect. This animation is a reenactment of the murders based on an official narrative of the crime published by UK and French media.
