French state prosecutor Eric Maillaud speaks to journalists after a news conference in Annecy, February 19, 2014. The man held by French police on suspicion of being the motorcyclist spotted near the scene of a brutal 2012 killing of a British family was an arms enthusiast, but a prosecutor cautioned on Wednesday that authorities had "no certitude" over any role he may have played in the murder. The 48-year-old man arrested on Tuesday - who has no criminal record and whose name has not been released - presents "a very strong resemblance" to the mystery motorcyclist sought for months by police investigating the killing in Chevaline in the southeastern Rhone-Alpes region.
