French Police Investigate Woman for 2025 Killing of Briton Karen Carter in Dordogne
French judicial authorities have formally opened an investigation into a woman regarding the killing of Karen Carter, a British national, in the Dordogne region. Ms Carter, who had resided in the village of Fongalop for over a decade, was discovered with stab wounds in 2025.
The investigation follows proceedings in Bergerac, where the woman was presented before a magistrate. While no direct charges have been publicly announced, the formal opening of a judicial investigation signifies a significant progression in the case, allowing for further evidence gathering and potential future prosecution.
This development underscores the continued efforts by French law enforcement to ascertain the circumstances surrounding Ms Carter's death, an incident that prompted considerable local attention due to her long-standing presence within the community.
