00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,720
Welcome to this article
about Steven's brutal murder.

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:23,080
Today I invite you to delve into a
story that even made British spies and

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,040
France should start blinking
like students arrested by

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,520
teacher with a paper certificate.

5
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,720
Here we are talking about a real event,
not a movie, the small village of Severin.

6
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,720
What happened was peace
and the sound of birds.

7
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,800
Suddenly I heard gunshots.

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,720
The shots that changed
their history forever.

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,960
Spy Saad Al Hilal's family
joins list of executions

10
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,560
the most terrifying in Europe.

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:56,640
Dad, mom, grandma and a completely
unrelated person all

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,480
in a matter of seconds.

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,200
As if the killer wanted to wipe out an
entire generation and, most

14
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,120
surprisingly, a young child.

15
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,640
The four-year-old survived
while hiding under a dress.

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,760
his mother's for eight hours.

17
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:17,080
Now there is only one question,
who shot them and why?

18
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Is it a family feud?

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,720
Intelligence debt?

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Or is there a greater mystery that
began in Baghdad and ended there?

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,840
in the Andes mountains?

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,160
And let's begin this bloody journey.

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,400
Cunning and police intelligence that
failed to understand each other.

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,320
Welcome to the brutal murder of Evaline.

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,520
An event that transformed a quiet
village into a true spy movie.

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,800
There are stories in this world that, even
if you hear them with a smile,

27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,120
still hurt in the heart.

28
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,720
The ones that make you laugh a little
but inside you feel its weight.

29
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,880
Today we travel to the small
village of Eveline there

30
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,560
in the Aveyron region, Alves in France.

31
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,200
The village of Amani has gentle people,
their life is one of tranquility

32
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,520
and rural gentleness.

33
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,320
But one day the peace
was shattered by gunfire.

34
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,520
The entire village woke up in surprise.

35
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Something unusual for them.

36
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,840
This is the story of the great
massacre that shook France and left

37
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,680
unanswered questions to this day.

38
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,520
The main characters are the
Al Hilal Al Hilal family.

39
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,400
A fifty-year-old father, a
very intelligent engineer, but

40
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,480
with more secrets than is thought.

41
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:50,120
Al Hilal's wife, a woman with
a gentle smile, but her eyes

42
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,600
they had many stories.

43
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,360
His mother, a wise and hopeful woman

44
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,000
to see grandchildren growing up in peace.

45
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,560
A French citizen who had no
connection to the family.

46
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,280
A person who just passed by,
but unknowingly entered history.

47
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,800
All of them were shot dead in
a quiet rural area overlooking

48
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,600
as a break point.

49
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,520
The murder was carried out with such
skill that it seemed as if the killer was

50
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,920
in a spy movie.

51
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Others said he came as quiet as the wind,
finishing his work without

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,360
leaving any evidence.

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,040
then he disappeared as
if he had never existed.

54
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,760
French spies joined
forces with British ones.

55
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,600
Each side offers a different theory,
but there is no acceptable answer.

56
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Others said it was a secret war
between intelligence agencies.

57
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Others said it was revenge for the past
and linked the killings to conflicts.

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,760
family history about inheritance.

59
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,560
French spies joined forces with British
ones, each side offering a theory.

60
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640
different, but there is
no acceptable answer.

61
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Some say it is a secret war
between intelligence agencies.

62
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Others said it was revenge for the past.

63
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,560
And others felt it was someone close
who knew the family's schedule.

64
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,040
But the truth is that no
one was ever arrested.

65
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:22,360
There is not enough evidence.

66
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,760
There is no direct evidence.

67
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,960
It's like the killer disappeared into
thin air after doing what he intended.

68
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Investigators were at a loss to understand
whether this was a case of

69
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,800
family murder or a cover-up.

70
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,000
a large international covered
in the name of a holiday.

71
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,120
To this day, Sheffield residents
still remember that day as a stain.

72
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,000
inevitable in their history.

73
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Children born later have heard
the story associated with

74
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,240
mountains, trees and the
wind blowing at night.

75
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,640
Everyone is wondering who
exactly had the symptoms.

76
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,000
Was he a spy?

77
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Or was he just a family man who met
the misfortune of the secret world?

78
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,280
It has remained a name that carries the
weight of fear, sadness and mystery.

79
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Some say the truth will be known one day.

80
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:18,280
But until now the file continues to sit
on the desk full of unanswered pages.

81
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,080
A family that went on vacation,
ended up being laid to rest forever.

82
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,720
and the world was left
asking the same question.

83
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,760
Who killed the spy or
this and his friends?

84
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,800
A mystery book where every time
you open a page you encounter

85
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,360
another new riddle.

86
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,480
When the investigators started, they
thought it would be a few days' work,

87
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,840
But they were entering a secret forest
and every tree had its own story.

88
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,920
The witness appeared instead of opening
a new page of answers, he added a page

89
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,000
another controversial one,
because as they were opening cases

90
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:06,080
Through various witnesses, the
task became increasingly difficult.

91
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Others came up with explanations that
increased tension rather

92
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,880
than calming the situation.

93
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,120
You find one witness saying the
killer appeared on the left.

94
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,240
Another one comes and says he was crying.

95
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,400
The third one says there was
absolutely no one, it's as if everyone

96
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,120
He was dreaming his dream.

97
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,800
That's when the detectives found
themselves mixing up the pieces of

98
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,000
pictures that don't match.

99
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520
And that's when they start to
see the magnitude of the problem.

100
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,840
The perpetrator of this murder was no
ordinary person, he

101
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,320
knew what he was doing.

102
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,040
He knew how to lose them and he
knew how to organize everything.

103
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,560
in a straight line.

104
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,640
Every move he made was planned
with military precision.

105
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,600
There is no evidence, no sign.

106
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,360
No one saw him coming or going,
so the spies ended up saying.

107
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,920
If this person is not a spy, then he
is someone who once trained a spy.

108
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,200
In this article we will see in detail how
it developed and what the

109
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,400
investigation was like.

110
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,840
a bigger challenge than expected.

111
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,560
It is an incident that shows how a
spy assassination can be organized.

112
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,520
creativity and skill, but they
remained as lasting wounds in history.

113
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,280
The event itself occurred on the fifth
of September in the year two thousand and

114
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560
twelve at four o'clock in the evening.

115
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,440
The village of Seveline
was quiet as usual.

116
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Retired RAF pilot Brett Martin was doing

117
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,760
his cycling practice on mountain trails.

118
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,920
His journey was calm, the wind
was good, the birds were singing

119
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520
and life continued as usual.

120
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,800
But as he climbed higher, his eyes
were drawn to something unusual.

121
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,680
In the distance he saw a BMW
parked badly on the side.

122
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,000
of the dirt road.

123
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Next to his bicycle, he lies
down with a little girl.

124
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,200
He is face down on the ground.

125
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,760
Martin.

126
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,640
At a quick glance he thought
perhaps the child was

127
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,960
Is he playing or has he just fallen?

128
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,760
He continued driving slowly,
believing his parents were nearby.

129
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,160
But as he got closer, the
feelings began to change.

130
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Something is wrong.

131
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,280
The child was not playing
but was struggling to rest.

132
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Snoring in a weak voice.

133
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,160
If blood slowly flows out of him, it is
a sign that something worse is happening.

134
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Martin felt his heart beating
faster, but his military mind

135
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,960
it returned to calm.

136
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,360
He rode his bike, knelt by the river
and tried to give him a helping hand.

137
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,400
at first, but when he looked towards the
car, the situation became

138
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,040
even more frightening.

139
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,040
Inside Mr.

140
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,040
The bodies of three people lay silently,
blood spreading across the floor.

141
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,600
mirror and front seats.

142
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Anyone could say this is no accident.

143
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,760
It was a planned murder, Brett
Martin found out right here.

144
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,240
This is not a normal job.

145
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,920
There were no signs of a
struggle and no sign of anyone.

146
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,240
who ran away quickly.

147
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,760
Everything seemed quiet
but with a deep sadness.

148
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:43,400
That's when he began his journey to report
the news without knowing

149
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,800
that he had entered the

150
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,960
one of the greatest
mysteries of this century.

151
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,640
Who planned all of this
with such precision?

152
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,960
Why was the Ilhala family targeted?

153
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,240
And the child who survived?
