EmailRelatives of two British girls who survived the "savage"murder of three members of their family in the French Alps will fly out to be with them, authorities have said.
Post-mortem examinations were due to be carried out on Iraqi-born Saad al-Hilli, 50, who was gunned down in his car alongside his dentist wife, named by neighbours as Iqbal, and a woman believed to be her mother.
A passing French cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also shot dead in the attack on Wednesday.
The motive behind the killings remained unclear today, with French authorities investigating a number of lines of inquiry.
