# A 70-year-old woman has been charged over the murder of a British-South African expat in rural France in April last year. Sixty-five-year-old Karen Carter had suffered eight serious stab wounds and was found outside her guest house in Trémolat in the Dordogne, where she had lived for over a decade. The suspect was originally taken into custody but released without charge. A subsequent judicial inquiry led the investigating judge formally charging her. The Dordogne is an area hugely popular with British tourists, second homeowners and expat pensioners.
