The sudden deaths of a married British couple at their home in the south of France are being treated as a murder suicide, prosecutors have confirmed. Retired Andrew and Dawn Searle were found dead in the hamlet of Les Pesquies in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron, in the early afternoon of February 6. Mrs Kerr, 56, was found lying dead in front of her house partly undressed and with a significant head injury while Mr Searle was found hanged inside. Police launched an investigating to establish whether the couple died as a result of a murder-suicide, or if a third party was involved. The BBC is reporting that the prosecutor in charge of the case has now said there is no evidence that anybody else was involved in the deaths. The news confirms previous reports from those investigating the case.

A statement issued by French prosecutors in February said: "The two deceased persons, a man and a woman, were the owners of the house in which their bodies were discovered. They were British expatriates, retired, and had been living in Aveyron for five years. "The first victim, Ms Kerr, has a significant head injury. A box containing jewellery was found near to her, but no item or weapon which could have caused the injuries were located. Mr Searle, who was found hanged ... did not show any visible defensive injuries."
