When a British family from a quiet suburban village were gunned down in broad daylight while on holiday near Annecy in the French Alps, it became one of the most memorable unsolved crimes of recent memory. The investigation into the apparently motiveless killings of three members of the Al-Hilli family and French cyclist Sylvan Mollier has involved agencies from five different countries, but no arrest has yet been made.

With no obvious motives behind the killings, conspiracy theories and speculation have run riot, linking the victims with religious extremism, espionage and secret services. There are rumours of secret Swiss bank accounts, inheritance disputes, French heiresses and bloody family feuds. But with no strong evidence, eight months after the killings, the investigation appears to have stalled.

Murder-in-The-Alps

This programme aims to go behind the headlines and puts the speculation to the test. It includes the only interview with the hiker who saw the crime scene and helped raise the alarm. A French journalist reveals that he has had a sight of a confidential police report about the forensics of the crime scene.

The documentary also features an exclusive interview with a close friend of the Al-Hilli family and his extraordinary email exchange with his friend Saad Al-Hilli. And Swiss prosecutor Dario Zanni is interviewed for the first time about the case.

The Alp Murders airs tonight on Channel 4 at 10pm
