SIMPLY IN THE WRONG ALPINE ‘LAY-BY’ AT THE WRONG TIME ??

Sylvain Mollier, 45, was shot seven times and killed on September 5,
near [ or ] in an isolated clearing by Lake Annecy, in the French Alps, along
with three members of the al-Hilli family.
Two of the al-Hilli children survived,
with the youngest, four-year-old Zeena, found hiding under her mother’s body.
Though prosecutors have said no stone
was being left unturned in the still unsolved investigation, the focus has
remained on the al-Hilli family, and whether they were victims of an
inheritance-related dispute, as opposed to the “forgotten” cyclist.
According to reports, Mr. Mollier, a
divorced father of two, was also involved in “a bitter dispute”
over a £1.1m inheritance belonging to Claire Schutz, his partner 16 years his
junior, and the mother of their child born just three months before the
killings.
Ms. Schultz’s family reportedly
disapproved of the way Mr. Mollier was living off of his partner’s money.
Nearly a year before the shootings, Ms. Schutz reportedly inherited the
ownership of the Schutz Morange Pharmacy in Grignon, from her parents, valued
at £1.1m.
But Ms Schutz’ family was reportedly
increasingly concerned about Mr Mollier’s potential claims over the money.
Prior to the killings, Mr Mollier also
arranged to take time off work at a nuclear metal works factory, Cezus, for
what French media described as paternity leave, but was also reportedly
expected to last three years.
“Sylvain came from a down-to-earth
family but had growing claims on Claire’s fortune. This was something
Claire’s family was not happy about,” a source on the local council,
where Ms Schutz’ father Thierry served for two years, told The Sunday Times.
“They were particularly concerned
about Sylvain’s spending. There was a bitter dispute over what was going on
and this got worse when Sylvain took three years off to effectively live off
Claire’s money.”
Eric Maillaud, state prosecutor in
charge of the investigation, has confirmed tensions existed between the
Schutz family and Mr. Mollier, but he dismissed them: “they were not
something I particularly wanted to make public. The family is entitled to
their private life.”
Mr. Maillaud has long held that,
“there is no possible reason to imagine [ Mr. Mollier.] is for whatever
reason directly implicated in his death. He seems to have been at the wrong
place at the wrong time.”
Perhaps what actually happened is that
the Al Hilli family were the ones at the absolute wrong place. A
search of articles about the finances of the Al Hilli clan also leaves some unanswered
questions, as does the close proximity of these murders to the border with
Switzerland.
