A 69-year-old woman has been detained over the murder of a British woman found with stab wounds outside her home in Dordogne, France, reports The Times.
Karen Carter, 65, a mother of four, was discovered “collapsed and unconscious” near her car in the village of Trémolat on Tuesday.
Sylvie Martins-Guedes, the prosecutor for Bergerac said: “A woman aged 69 years old, who comes from Trémolat and is part of the couple’s circle, has been detained.”
Martins-Guedes said Carter had “several wounds, of which five were deep and caused by a sharp object, notably to the chest, the groin, the arm and the leg”.
“The wounds revealed a singular violence and their placement showed the desire to kill,” she added.
