Searches of the Claygate home of a family murdered in the French Alps have now ended.

Surrey Police confirmed the initial search of the property in Oaken Lane was over.

Saad Al-Hilli, 50, his wife Iqbal and his mother-in-law were all shot dead in an attack on Wednesday, September 5. The two Al-Hilli children, Zainab, 7, and Zeena, 4, both survived the attack.

Extensive searches of the family home saw bags of evidence removed from the house. Officers also used power tools to gain access to a safe.

Searches also stretched to outbuildings at the property and a bomb disposal unit was called in following concerns raised about items. These items were later deemed not hazardous.

Inquiries remain ongoing and a police presence remains at the location.
