Pistol retrieved from lake offers fresh hope in French al-Hilli family cold case

A pistol retrieved from a lake in France may provide a breakthrough in the cold case murder of Saad al-Hilli, an Iraqi-British engineer shot dead along with his wife and mother-in-law while on holiday in eastern France in September 2012. The case has remained unsolved for over a decade. Investigators are examining whether the weapon is linked to the killings.
