In the last 15 km of the trip from Toulouse to Les Pequiès village, it travels on winding tight roads through the dense hillores. Without a reliable GPS system, you can get lost very quickly, especially at night.

I was expecting Andrew’s home and without Serle, The British couple found dead earlier this monthTo be far. This is the suggestion of the crime scene pictures that I saw. But I was surprised when I arrived to find it well at a distance of screaming from several houses.

They are important details because the Dawn body is partially discovered outside the front of the house last Thursday morning. The public prosecutor in charge of the case, Nicholas Regot Muller, said she was severely injured in the head caused by a sharp weapon. Any cries had heard very clearly by the neighbors.

Her husband’s body is found hanging inside the back of the house. Public Prosecutor says A weapon was not foundThere is no clear sign of a robbery, no evidence that Andrew has been fighting, nor a sexual crime.

A friend of the dawn body discovered when she came home with her dog. The couple had two large dogs on his own, and they often walked with the friend or many other dog owners who spoke to them in the Quiet Village.

One of the women, Benedik, said that the couple “very adorable, we often met such a walking our dogs around the village.”

“We were very shocked, of course,” she said.

Lady, a butcher, sells her products in the local market with her husband. Their property overlooks the Cyrle house, only a muddow separating them.

She told me: “They were a wonderful couple who smiled a lot, and since I lived in England, I managed to talk to them in English.” “They were well combined and called everyone to attend a party.”

But not everyone you approached wants to speak. Their looks give up that this is a very difficult moment for this rural society in the glow of criminal investigation.

The rail crossing next to the village does not have safety barriers, but rather a stopping sign, which tells you about a little traffic here naturally. Now, you can feel the presence of Gendarmerie, the French army branch that leads the investigation.

While I was presenting a live coverage of the BBC Scotland, I drove a large car with polluted windows slowly, inside four sides officers from the killing branch and organized crimes.

There is no doubt that the locals are afraid. Many of Gendarmerie’s officers photographed our car, asked to see our identity cards and urged us to be conservative. They said that the residents were afraid and that their presence was partially reassuring them.

There is a bright yellow gendarmerie bar tied to the front gate of the Sril house. The dogs and their swimming pool have gone on a cover over it. Two large candles were lit in the corridor, and it has a newsletter recorded on the portal number phone number for anyone who feels that he needs psychological consultation or moral support, provided by local social services. The same bulletin was registered to a community board in the center of Hamlet village.

Serl’s couple retired to this area five years ago, and other postal boxes in Hamlet indicate that they are not the only expatriates in the area. This is not surprising: There are no official statistics, but while I was headquartered in Toulouse, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at different times told me that they believe that about 30,000 Britons live full -time in the southwest expatriate in France outside Paris.

Moreover, tens of thousands of homes that have holidays in this region, which are called Occitanie, which is one of the fastest growing regions of France, attracts people from the United Kingdom, but also Belgium, the Netherlands and Paris.

What attracts them here is the quality of life, wide open spaces, relatively cheap property, countryside and beautiful architecture.

The nearby town of Vilefranche-De RORORGUE enjoys one of the most beautiful central squares to pass through the Middle Ages in a packed area. In the summer, an outdoor market is gathered in the square with holiday makers, including many British, who carry baskets filled with local products.

Various conspiracy theories are spreading about how the couple dies – was asked about by countless TV media and French radio. But all we know is that the public prosecutor and his team are still trying to identify it, as he repeated me on Wednesday night, “whether the tragedy resulted from a local crime followed by suicide or the involvement of a third party.”

Since the death that spoke with the public prosecutor who leads the case, who revealed to me late this week that he has been investigating a senior judge in Montpellier with more resources available.

I asked him if this means that he is now tending towards the idea that the Sayyrle couple was killed.

He answered that he did not rule out anything. He added that if they were killed, and he goes to trial, he will lead the prosecution.

Dr. Remy Sevigni, a psychologist who answers the hotline of advice from the publications, told me that so far about dozens of people have called him for a kind of support. He said they are all local, and he said all of the couple personally.

He said that they are all afraid or in a shock.
