A 70-year-old woman is charged with the murder of Karen Carter, a British expat found dead after being stabbed outside her home in Trémolat, in France’s Dordogne region. Multiple reports say Carter was attacked in April of last year, with injuries described as multiple stab wounds, and that she died after returning home following a social outing, including a wine tasting. The Guardian reports that a public prosecutor for the region says the suspect was initially arrested shortly after Carter’s death on 29 April and later placed “under judicial supervision.” The charge is reported to have been formally issued on 2 July. Other outlets also state that French authorities formally place the woman under investigation or charge connected to the fatal stabbing, and that the decision to charge came more than a year after the killing. While some reports focus on alleged problems with the suspect’s alibi, the common points across sources are the victim’s identity, the location and timing of the killing, the suspect’s age and status as the charged individual, and that proceedings are now underway in relation to Carter’s death.
