Alps shootings survivor’s return to UK offers ray of light in complex case

Investigators say Zainab al-Hilli is key witness to unexplained killing of her mother, father and grandmotherNine days after she was rushed to Grenoble university hospital in a state that police later described as somewhere “between life and death”, Zainab al-Hilli was whisked away from France by British police on Friday and taken to a secret location in the UK. Her departure was a rare ray of light in the otherwise bleak story of her family’s as-yet-unexplained killing in the French Alps.
