across at the couple's dream home in

be responsible]

They had a Nice home in France


[Andrew Searle is said to have moved
his family to France a decade ago
after working as a financial investigator
in the 'fight against organised crime
and terrorism'.

On Friday, the couple's property
and surrounding land in the hamlet had
been turned into an extensive crime scene.

'Both died a violent death,'
regional prosecutor Nicolas Rigot-Muller said,
adding however he could not yet
provide further details.

'All leads are being examined',
he said, adding that
the investigation was
in its early stages.]

[An investigating source said:
'A criminal enquiry has been launched
and the fear is that the couple was murdered.]

…very, very gruesome…and such contrasting reports of a ‘robbery that went wrong’ but also reporting a possible ‘hitman’ murder of them…Andrew Searle spent his working career fighting organised crime and terrorism…I think they only married a few years ago…very sad, very horrifying murder…

He must have been aware
of the Evil Criminals tracking him................


He should had more Guns
at easy reach

….hmmmmm, I don’t know…there seems something a little off about that being the theory in that he’d retired there 10 years ago so to have taken that long to ‘track’ him just doesn’t seem to fit and he doesn’t seem to have made himself difficult to ‘track’…its very odd …Dawn Searle/Dawn Kerr’s son is an actor/country singer apparently who was in Hollyoak’s back in the day…

Perhaps someone just got out of Prison

[Cherie]

His ex work colleagues have now ruled out that he was targetted as he worked anonymously and as part of a bigger team

Police are considering murder suicide as the lady was found in her PJs beaten to death by the front door and he was found hanged.....would a burglarly gone wrong go to the lengths of hanging him? Their families dispute the murder/suicide angle

Evil Double Murder
for sure

[arista]

[been told of any violence to him]

Sure as he was Hanged

[Cherie]

If burglars had time to beat her to death and hang him why would they leave jewellery behind, makes no sense

I assume it was Revenge Murders

My theory is he had money issues and killed her before taking his own life.

Yes, unfortunately statistically that's the most realistic option

Sure
could also be possible

[The couple moved to the south of France from Scotland
around a decade ago.
Pictured is the house where Mr and Mrs Searle
were discovered in Les Pesquies]

[arista]

[Less than 24 hours before he was found dead,
Mr Searle seemed happy and relaxed
as he bought a chocolate bar and two lottery tickets
before thanking the shopkeeper
and going to his car outside where his wife,
aged in her mid-50s, was waiting]

The Face of the Crazy
Man a few days before
the murder of his wife
and then his own hanging

[Ammi]

…several neighbours/villagers have apparently said that Andrew Searle bought the lottery ticket and a bar of chocolate that he like every week or on a regular basis so it could have just been a routine of ‘normality’ that he wanted to keep…the mind is a strange thing in its workings, especially a troubled mind and I know with grief, for instance…we can think of the strangest/most routine/and things of no consequence in grief when our minds are struggling to find a ‘normality’ to hold onto…

[Ammi]

…my thoughts are still that it was a planned killing and suicide…
