Expolisen ej längre misstänkt för morden - endast vapensmuggling:

A former policeman and gun collector is no longer a suspect in the brutal murder of a British family in the French Alps, police sad yesterday.
Police raided the home of Eric Devouassoux, 48, on Tuesday, where they found an 'arsenal of military weapons', including 40 Second World War guns and a stash of bullets.
But detectives admitted they had had found nothing to link him directly to the quadruple killings, near Lake Annecy, in 2012.
It is a major blow for the French police, who admitted they now had no new leads in the investigation.
Prosecutors said Devouassoux was no longer being questioned in connection with the murders, but continues to be held on suspicion of trafficking weapons, as part of an 'organised crime group'.

Prosecutor Eric Maillaud said: 'The searches and interviews of the last three days have not enabled us to establish a direct link between the events of 5 September 2012 and this man, a war weapons enthusiast.
'The weapon used in the crime has not been found, neither has the helmet which featured in the e-fit, nor the motorbike described by several witnesses which investigators were looking for.
'The investigation continues.
'However, the man will be taken into custody, overseen by the public prosecutor's office in Annecy, in connection with illicit trading in wartime weapons and ammunition.'

A second man, named locally as construction worker Jean-Luc Falcy, 42, from Lathuile, a village one mile from the murder scene, has also been arrested in connection with arms dealing.
Police found a huge collection of antique guns, grenades, explosives and detonators in the attic of the farmhouse he shares with his wife and four children.
He is not being questioned in connection with the murders.

Yesterday, Mr Devouassoux's solicitor Marc Dufour said his client had always denied any 'wrongdoing'.
He said: 'The investigators were doing their job. It would have been quite abnormal had he not been questioned, but all the technical and factual details clear him.' Asked if he had an alibi for the day of the killings, he said: 'He doesn't remember now what he was doing that day.
'He simply says that usually he works on Wednesdays (the day of the crime), although the investigators seem to think he was off.' If convicted of arms trafficking, the men face seven to 10 years in jail.
