- A 70-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of British expat Karen Carter, who was repeatedly stabbed outside her home in Trémolat, France , last April.
- Mrs Carter, 65, a British-South African mother-of-four, was discovered with eight serious stab wounds near her front door in the Dordogne village where she had lived for over a decade.
- The suspect was initially taken into custody in 2025 as part of the investigation but was released without charge before being formally charged on Wednesday.
- Karen Carter was well-known in the close-knit community, running two holiday guest houses, and her husband, Alan Carter, described her as an outgoing person.
- Mr Carter expressed relief at the progress in the case, noting that it also helped clear his name from earlier suspicions regarding his wife's death.
