There maybe a new lead in the unsolved murder of three members of a British family and a French citizen in Chevaline near Annecy in September 2012.

The British family included the 50-year-old Iraqi born Saad al-Hilli, his wife and her mother. A passing French cyclist was also shot and killed.

Their four-year-old daughter survived by hiding between her dead mother’s legs. 

The killings have remained unsolved.

But following a recent raid on a criminal gang in Paris which is made up of former police and military officers, all belonging to the same Freemasonry lodge, could provide further clues. 

Police say some ammunition seized matches the type used in the Annecy killings. Investigators say the type of ammunition is rare.
