Brit couple found ‘murdered’ in France as chilling note found beside body
A MURDER investigation has been opened in Southwest France after the dead bodies of a British couple were found at their isolated countryside home.
Friends of the pair – who have not been named – visited after not hearing from them for at least three days in Boudrac, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, south of Toulouse.
When they arrived at their home – which was due to be turned into a bed and breakfast guest house – on Sunday afternoon they found the lifeless body of a 65-year-old woman.
“She has been dead for some days and had a rope around her neck,” said local prosecutor Christophe Amunzateguy.
“Wounds were also found on her body – there were signs of strangulation and blows.”
