The son of a woman killed in an unsolved quadruple murder in the French Alps has been denied compensation – because of a dispute over the spelling of his father’s name.
The 52-year-old suffers from severe mental illness and has been forced to live in a care home in Britain since his mother and carer, Suhaila al-Allaf, was shot dead in September 2012. She was aged 74.
Mrs al-Allaf was murdered by a mystery gunman alongside her daughter Ikbal al-Hilli and son- in-law Saad al-Hilli, of Claygate, Surrey, on a remote mountain road near Annecy. Local cyclist Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also killed.
Suhaila al-Allaf was shot dead in Annecy, France, in 2012 at the age of 74. Now her son, who has severe mental illness, has been denied compensation because of a dispute over the spelling of his father’s name
The al-Hillis’s two daughters survived. Zeena, then aged four, hid in the footwell of the family’s BMW beside her dead mother and grandmother while sister Zainab, then seven, was shot and beaten but lived.
Under French law, Mrs al-Allaf’s son, who has obsessive compulsive disorder that leaves him unable to go outside without supervision, is entitled to damages because his mother and sister ‘died as a result of a criminal offence’.
But officials at the Fonds de Garantie – the French equivalent of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority – says he is ineligible because his father’s name is spelt differently on his sister’s birth certificate.
On one document it is ‘Thaher’ and on the other ‘Dhahir’.
Despite accepting he is Mrs Al-Allaf’s son, and an expert translator commissioned by his lawyers confirming the anomaly is simply a quirk in the way Arabic is translated into English, the French authorities claim the inconsistency proves he is not related to his sister.
His solicitor, Isabel Bathurst, of law firm Slater and Gordon, said: ‘This is beyond farce.
The French authorities have seized on an inconsequential and irrelevant anomaly in an attempt to tie the family up in knots.’
The compensation would pay for the son, who wishes to remain anonymous, to live closer to his family in Britain.

‘Losing his mother under these circumstances has been utterly devastating,’ a close relative said.
‘She was his world. She cared for him, supported him, gave him the confidence and ability to have some quality of life.’
A source at the Fonds de Garantie said individual cases are ‘not discussed publicly’.
French police insist the hunt for the killer continues.
One theory is that Mr Mollier, the cyclist who was shot seven times, was the intended target and the al-Hillis family were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
