Brit couple found ‘murdered’ in south of France at their home as chilling note found beside husband’s body

A MURDER investigation has been opened in Southwest France after the dead bodies of a British couple were found at their isolated countryside home. Friends of the pair – who have not been named – visited after not hearing from them for at least three days in Boudrac, in the foothills of the Pyrenees, south of Toulouse.  When they arrived at their home – which was due to be turned into a bed and breakfast guest house – on Sunday afternoon they found the lifeless body of a 65-year-old woman. “She has been dead for some days and had a rope around her neck,” said local prosecutor Christophe Amunzateguy. “Wounds were also found on her body – there were signs of strangulation and blows.” Most read in News HIGH DRAMA School chaos as kids held inside as armed cops swoop KILLER CRASH Mum yelled 'why didn't I put on their seatbelts?' after killing her two kids KNIFE HORROR Gran, 64, knifed to death with 3 others as family say 'she didn't deserve it' RAGING INFERNO Russia hit by TWO huge explosions in suspected Ukrainian missile strike TRAGIC FIND Body of man in 50s found in flat after he was 'assaulted by man & woman' MAD FROM UNCLE Prince Andrew 'is the reason Harry fears the Queen needs protection'
