Police in France are investigating the tragic deaths of a British couple found in their French home earlier this month, and they believe the husband might have killed his wife before staging the scene to look like a botched break-in. Andrew and Dawn Searle, who had moved to the charming town of Les Pesquies near Toulouse a decade ago, were discovered dead in their home after a friend went to check on them when they hadn’t been seen for a few days.
On February 6, the friend found the “violent” scene that raised alarm. Dawn’s body was discovered outside their home with a head injury, and her jewellery was scattered around. Andrew, a former financial investigator, was found dead inside the house. Initially, it appeared as though Dawn had been killed during an attempted robbery, with signs of a struggle and the house appearing ransacked. However, police now suggest that this might have been a staged scene, reported the Daily Star.
