The house where the Al-Hilli family lived before they were shot dead in the French Alps has been put up for sale.

The four-bedroom house has gone on the market for £1.185m with viewings set up for this Saturday.

Killed almost three years ago in September 2012, Saad Al-Hilli, 50, of Oaken Lane, Claygate, his wife Iqbal, 47, and her mother, Suhalia Al-Allaf, 74, were shot in their car while camping near Lake Annency.

Mr Al-Hilli and his brother had fought over ownership of the property the year before the deaths.

Zaid Al-Hilli, 54, of Bray Court, North Parade, Chessington, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder in July 2013 but was released without charge in January 2014.

Two other people were questioned about the deaths but also released without charge.

The two Al-Hilli children, both former pupils of Claygate Primary School, survived the attack.

Zainab, then seven, was shot and pistol whipped by the gunman, and Zeena, then four, escaped unharmed after she hid beneath her dead mother’s skirt.

A French cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also shot dead in the attack. It is thought by some he was the original target.

On September 5, last year, on the two-year anniversary of the deaths, French prosecutor Eric Maillaud said: "We have tried everything possible, but perhaps we're in the presence of the perfect crime."

The home had stood empty while police had investigated the deaths.

Catlings and Co Estate Agents, based in Claygate, describe the house as having "enormous potential to extend and modify".

The brochure said "the house has been newly decorated throughout" and is within reach of local shops and rail links to London.

At an inquest hearing last year coroner Richard Travers said it was "beyond no doubt" that Mr Al-Hilli, his wife and his mother-in-law were unlawfully killed.
