MURDER IN THE ALPS: WAS THE AL-HILLI FAMILY KILLED FOR
WITNESSING THE 'EXECUTION' OF SYLVAIN MOLLIER ??

WAS SAAD AL-HILLI, HIS WIFE AND HER MOTHER,
SIMPLY IN THE WRONG ALPINE 'LAY-BY' AT THE WRONG TIME ?? Article By Devorah Lauter, Paris. and found on the Telegraph of the U.K. -- 4:15PM GMT 16 Dec 2012 Sylvain Mollier, 45, was shot seven times and killed on September 5, near [ or ] in an isolated clearing by Lake Annecy, in the French Alps, along with three members of the al-Hilli family. Two of the al-Hilli children survived, with the youngest, four-year-old Zeena, found hiding under her mother's body. Though prosecutors have said no stone was being left unturned in the still unsolved investigation, the focus has remained on the al-Hilli family, and whether they were victims of an inheritance-related dispute, as opposed to the "forgotten" cyclist. According to reports, Mr. Mollier, a divorced father of two, was also involved in "a bitter dispute" over a £1.1m inheritance belonging to Claire Schutz, his partner 16 years his junior, and the mother of their child born just three months before the killings. Ms. Schultz's family reportedly disapproved of the way Mr. Mollier was living off of his partner's money. Nearly a year before the shootings, Ms. Schutz reportedly inherited the ownership of the Schutz Morange Pharmacy in Grignon, from her parents, valued at £1.1m. But Ms Schutz' family was reportedly increasingly concerned about Mr Mollier's potential claims over the money. Prior to the killings, Mr Mollier also arranged to take time off work at a nuclear metal works factory, Cezus, for what French media described as paternity leave, but was also reportedly expected to last three years. "Sylvain came from a down-to-earth family but had growing claims on Claire's fortune. This was something Claire's family was not happy about," a source on the local council, where Ms Schutz' father Thierry served for two years, told The Sunday Times. "They were particularly concerned about Sylvain's spending. There was a bitter dispute over what was going on and this got worse when Sylvain took three years off to effectively live off Claire's money." Eric Maillaud, state prosecutor in charge of the investigation, has confirmed tensions existed between the Schutz family and Mr. Mollier, but he dismissed them: "they were not something I particularly wanted to make public. The family is entitled to their private life." Mr. Maillaud has long held that, "there is no possible reason to imagine [ Mr. Mollier.] is for whatever reason directly implicated in his death. He seems to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time." Perhaps what actually happened is that the Al Hilli family were the ones at the absolute wrong place. A search of articles about the finances of the Al Hilli clan also leaves some unanswered questions, as does the close proximity of these murders to the border with Switzerland. http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=270195 |
