British mother of Hollyoaks star “killed by her husband in a fake robbery” French police officers are afraid | World | News

A mother of a Hollyoaks star was found dead at her house in France, could have been killed by her husband who “staged” her death before killing, fear the French police.

Dawn Searle, 56, was discovered dead last month outside his house in Les Pesquiès, north of Toulouse. Her husband, Andrew, 65, was found and dead on the spot.

In the beginning, it was believed that the couple, who only married two years ago, was killed in a burglary on February 6.

Dawn was found in her pajamas, beaten to death, with scattered jewelry around her. The officers thought he was trying to escape.

Andrew, a former financial investigator, was found hanging by a radiator inside the house. One theory was that he and his wife were killed after discovering crime during his career.

Now, the officers think it is possible that he killed Dawn and set up the scene to look like a robbery before killing. Investigators believe that she had been killed outside, she “would certainly have been heard by close neighbors.”

An investigator said: “What is likely is that the victim was killed inside the house, with doors and windows closed in a winter night, and then her body thrown in the garden.”

It is believed that killing was a “scene in the scene.”

Nicolas Rigot-Muller, the Rodez prosecutor who led the investigation into deaths, told The Sunday Post that “a conjugal crime followed by a suicide” is probably.

Dawn’s son, whom he had during another marriage, is Callum Kerr. The actor and singer from Hollyoaks and walked the mother on the aisle in 2023, during her wedding with Andrew.

Callum played PC George Kiss on Channel 4 soap and was also presented in Virgin River on Netflix.
