Seven-year-old survivor ‘remembers’ attack


The eldest daughter of the British- Iraqi couple murdered last week in the French Alps has started speaking to investigators, expressing fear and seeming to remember what she had been through, a British newspaper has reported 

On Monday the Times quoted an unnamed source as saying Zainab had “expressed fear, said she was terrified and seemed to remember what she had been through”. The same source added that police had “been able to speak to [Zainab] but this was just an initial meeting. They could not go into any detail and the child was very tired.”
The Times exclusive also highlighted a series of “secret meetings” that the slain father took part in days before the grisly murders, quoting people who had observed the family at the Village Camping Europa, one of the two campsites the family stayed in during their French holiday.
Zainab had been in hospital in Grenoble after being bludgeoned over the head and shot in the shoulder during the attack.

French state prosecutor Eric Maillaud had previously said Zainab could prove to be the key witness in the murder case of Saad and Ikbal al-Hilli, her elderly mother and a passing French cyclist in the French Alps last Wednesday, but that his detectives would only be able to question her once he gets the green light from medical staff.

    That is a very sad thing when a child is caught in the middle of that and remembers the whole thing. If I saw a shooting that involved my parents I would be traumatized for the rest or most of my life.

    OMG SOO SOO SAD! today when they sung the national anthum at my school, i was trying so hard not to let my face be drenched in tears. i was only 4 so i dont remember anything but i have seen pictures, videos, and poeple crying over their dead loved ones. this is a very tragic thing that has happened to us Americans but no matter what, we must stay strong and carry on. there are always times for grieving and today was the day. so all i can say is keep your head up and just think positive. i know that its hard to find something positive in this but there is something positive. some people also servived! we are servivers!!
