MYSTERY DNA found at the scene where a British family were gunned down in the Alps, could be the killer's, cops say. <\/p>\n

Saad Al-Hilli, 50, died alongside his wife Ikbal, 47, and his mother-in-law Suhalia Al-Allaf, 74, in their BMW car on September 5. <\/p>\n
The family, from Claygate, Surrey, were on a camping holiday when the tragedy happened. <\/p>\n
Sylvain Mollier, a 45-year-old French cyclist was also killed in the bloodbath, which is believed to have been carried out by at least one gunman brandishing a pistol. <\/p>\n

Now Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud has confirmed that \"unidentified DNA\" was found on \"elements at the scene\". <\/p>\n
These are believed to include spent gun cartridges and even parts of the murder weapon which mysteriously broke during the attack. <\/p>\n
The DNA does not match any of the people who first arrived at the scene of the killings, including British cyclist Brett Martin - an ex RAF Serviceman who raised the alarm - and three French hikers. <\/p>\n
It is being analysed at two laboratories in France and will enable detectives to step up their international manhunt for the murderer. <\/p>\n
