New Tom Parry article in the Mirror – Here is the link:-

Quote:- “The bewildering mass murder of a British family on holiday in the french alps remains unsolved more than two decades on”
Yes, you read that correctly, “two decades on”. . .
See how many other doubtful statements you can find.
It was thirteen and a half years ago.
David Cameron was the newish prime minister of the U.K. in a coalition.
Today, he is reborn as Foreign Secretary.
Perhaps he could be asked to look into it?
Tom Parry, implies that Suhailia went with the family al-Hilli from Claygate, to The Alps.
I don’t know where he gets his information but as far as I am aware, it has never been stated how Suhailia got to The Alps?
It would be useful, to have a timeline of the movements of Suhailia.
The girls claimed to not know who she was?

“C’est 70 hommes dans des chemises de couleur jaune”
So 70 suspects are, or have been, numero un!
Pity I don’t speak French but picked some of it up from reading.
Gun stopped being made in 1929.
So, about a ninety year old gun, probably Swiss.
The youngest the gun could be (if we have been told the truth) would be 83 years old.
How many times, since the Second World War, has an 80-100 year old pistol been used to kill four people at the same site, at the same moment?
2012 − 1929 = 83
Perhaps the barrel had been changed, prior to the Alps Massacre?
I expect, if the barrel had recently been replaced, this could be spotted by ballistic scientists,
in the recovered ammo?
@michael norton
The gun was first manufactured in 1929. The final manufacturing run for the Swiss armed forces was completed in 1946. A small number of sales to private individuals was made in 1947.
Good In Parts.
So you are claiming the gun could be as young as 65?
2012-1947 = 65
In my view, still a very old gun to be doing a quad murder?
If they have not got the actual gun but only the shots fired, barrels can be changed?
Actually, I have remembered, that, they have claimed a fractured part of a grip was recovered.
But again, grips are also replaced.
So, the actual gun used in 2012 does not have to be 65 -100 years old.
It could be a made up gun, not a classic.
If the actual gun has not or never will be recovered, we will not know?
The question, though, is why use a 100 – 65 year old gun
or why pretend it was a classic?
I was just musing about the tightness of the timeline, particularly just before and after the murders themselves.
Just imagine that Sylvain’s ex-wife had stayed on the phone for, say, another minute, or insisted that he stop cycling and talk to her. Sylvain would have been further delayed and the gap between him and WBM reduced. WBM would then have cycled straight into the middle of the massacre.
Wikipedia
“Eventually, ballistic analyses of the cartridge cases and butt plate fragments showed that the weapon used by the killer was a Luger P06 semi-automatic pistol (model 1906) firing the 7.65×21mm Parabellum ammunition”
So, Wiki thinks it was a 1906 model?
Have we seen written proof that it was a much more recent gun?
