New information on Chevaline killings?

Speculation is rife there’s new information about the Chevaline massacre 12 years ago.

In September 2012, near Lake Annecy, a British family – husband, wife and their two little girls, aged 4 and 7 were shot. The girls survived - although one was seriously injured.

A passing cyclist was also shot dead. 

The motive and killer remain a mystery. 

A new French judge, now in charge of the cold case, has ordered a reconstruction of the event which will take place on a disused airbase near Paris. 

The victims’ lawyers will also attend.

The gun used in the attack has not been recovered, but it is known that it was a World War 2 era Swiss made Luger. 

The killer fired 21 times.
