A 70-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of Karen Carter, a British expatriate who was found dead in southwestern France last year, according to local reports. The suspect was initially arrested shortly after the killing on 29 April 2025, and she was formally charged on 2 July 2026. The charge was filed in Trémolat, in the Dordogne region. The woman is currently under judicial supervision, meaning she is being monitored while the case proceeds. The public prosecutor for the region confirmed the arrest but did not provide further details about the suspect or the circumstances of the crime. Carter’s death had been under investigation since her body was discovered. The case has drawn attention due to the victim being a British national living abroad. The investigation continues. Further information has not been released as the legal process moves forward.
