The disturbing theory was suggested on Friday after the lifeless bodies of Andrew and Dawn Searle, who were in their 60s, were discovered on Thursday afternoon in Les Pesqui?s, south of Villefranche-de-Rouergue.]
Dawn, who he married in 2023, is the mum of Hollyoaks and Virgin River actor Callum Kerr, who said in a statement that he is ‘grieving the tragic loss’ along with his sister Amanda Kerr, and Andrew’s children Tom Searle and Ella Searle.
Andrew, a retired financial crime investigator, is said to have been hanged and had a gag in his mouth, while Dawn’s body was reportedly found by the front door, with a head wound and jewellery scattered around her.
Andrew Searle, 62, was filmed smiling and chatting with the shopkeeper, part of his usual routine after relocating from Scotland to rural France with his wife Dawn, 56.
One neighbour who lives nearby said they saw the couple walking the dogs the day before they were found, while Andrew was on the phone to someone: ‘He was very agitated, and he was arguing violently in English, he just waved at me and then carried on.
