Breakfast on Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Radio Surrey

Available for over a year

Two little girls, orphaned in a shooting in the French Alps five years ago, are now doing fine and well. That is according to their uncle speaking to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Surrey at his home in Chessington, Surrey. The parents and grandmother of Zeena and Zainab al-Hilli were shot dead on a mountain road near Annecy, along with a French cyclist. The killer has never been caught. In an exclusive interview with Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Surrey, their uncle Zaid has described the French investigation into the murders as a "total failure" and he wants a High Court judge to take over. The French investigator Veronique Dizot has told Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Surrey it was a complex case and that there has been no progress in solving it. Mirror correspondent Tom Parry, who has written a book The Perfect Crime about it, says he believes the focus of the murder hunt is now on the French victim.
