A Luger pistol found in a French lake has become the latest potential lead in the unsolved killings of a British family in the French Alps.
British tourists reportedly discovered the weapon, which experts are now examining to determine whether it could have been used in the 2012 murders.
Saad al-Hilli, 50, his wife, Ikbal, 47, and her mother, Suhaila al-Allaf, 74, were shot dead on a road near Annecy in eastern France in September 2012. The case remains unsolved, and investigators have pursued a long line of possible leads.
