Police have removed items from the home of the brother of a man who was shot dead in the Alps last September.
 

Officers are still holding a 54-year-old man from Chessington who has not been named, but is understood to be Zaid Al-Hilli.

His brother Saad Al-Hilli, 50, of Oaken Lane, Claygate, his wife Iqbal, 47, and his mother-in-law Suhalia Al-Allaf, 74, were shot dead in their BMW near Lake Annecy on September 5 last year.

Zaid Al-Hilli was arrested at his home in Bray Court, North Parade, Chessington at about 7.30am.

Phil Davies was clearing out his mother's flat in Bray Court following her recent death.

He described Mr Al Hili as a "mild-mannered, quiet and polite man".

He said: "I was in the shower when they arrested him.

"Apparently the police came in and he left with them.

"It was one big nothing.

"Then forensics and the press started turning up. It's been like a TV soap opera."

French prosecutor Eric Maillaud said the arrest had coincided with a raid on the golf club Mr Al-Hilli worked for.

A neighbour said he worked as an accountant at Burhill Golf Club in Hersham, part of the Burhill Group based in Burhill Park.
