Andrew and Dawn Searle: French investigators considering new theory in deaths of Brit couple Investigators in France have confirmed they are considering whether the killing of a British couple could have been a case of murder-suicide.
A source close to the investigation revealed the macabre details to French publication La Dépêche, saying: "The wife's body was first discovered, completely naked, in front of the door of the house.
On Friday, investigators revealed the disturbing circumstances in which Mr Searle's body was found - hanged inside the house with a gag in his mouth.
One line of inquiry is the couple could have been murdered by criminals from the UK because Mr Searle was a financial investigator specialising in crime and terrorism.
This evening, a new theory has emerged, with police saying they are also considering whether the couple's deaths were a murder-suicide.
