Karen Carter

Karen Carter, a 65-year-old British-South African mother-of-four and British expat, was found dead with stab wounds last year near her car in Trémolat, a village in the Dordogne region of south-western France. She had resided there for over a decade and managed two holiday rental homes. Recent developments indicate that a 70-year-old woman has been formally charged with Carter's murder. The suspect was initially taken into custody in 2025 and has since been placed under judicial supervision. The public prosecutor for the region confirmed the charge, which was laid on July 2nd. The case remains under judicial investigation, with the formal charge highlighting a significant step forward in the legal proceedings following Carter's death.
