A British expat, aged 85, is found dead at his home in France after police say he suffered a very violent beating. The man lives on the outskirts of the village of Verlus, near Toulouse, in the south-west of the country. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of his death.

French police are now searching for two men in connection with the case. Reporting across the available sources focuses on the discovery at the property and the ongoing manhunt, but provides limited additional detail on possible motives, the relationship of any suspects to the victim, or whether charges have been filed. The same core facts are repeated: the victim’s nationality and age, the location near Toulouse, the description of the assault, and the fact that investigators are pursuing two suspects.
