French authorities are investigating the distressing deaths of a British couple, Andrew and Dawn Searle, who were found dead in their home in the Aveyron region of south-western France. The couple, who relocated from Musselburgh, Scotland, were discovered on February 6, with Mrs. Searle's body located in the garden exhibiting significant head injuries, while Mr. Searle was found hanging inside the property.
