A previously unknown person shot a couple in a parking lot in the forest in September 2012.

As the prosecutor Line Bonnet had explained on Wednesday, it is now a matter of checking the timing.
It is still unclear what exactly happened in September 2012.
A hitherto unknown person had initially shot a married couple of Iraqi origin and the woman's mother in a parking lot in the forest in Annecy.
A cyclist who was probably passing by by accident was also killed.
The couple's two daughters, who lived in London, survived.
While the unknown perpetrator shot the seven-year-old girl and seriously injured her, the only four-year-old daughter hid under her dead mother's skirt.
