British Couple Found Dead in France as Homicide Investigation Begins
The deaths of Dawn Kerr and Andrew Searle in Aveyron remain unexplained, with no clear leads on whether it was a domestic incident or a third-party crime.
- The bodies of Dawn Kerr and Andrew Searle, a British couple, were discovered on February 6, 2025, at their home in Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Aveyron, France.
- Kerr was found outside the house with significant head injuries, while Searle was found inside, hanged with a rope attached to a radiator.
- Authorities have opened a judicial investigation for 'homicides volontaires' but have not ruled out any possibilities, including a domestic crime or third-party involvement.
- The case has drawn significant attention in the UK, partly due to Kerr's son, Callum Kerr, being a noted actor in British television series.
- Speculation in British media suggests potential links to Searle's past work in financial crime investigation, though this theory remains unconfirmed by French authorities.
