Floriane Roux (pictured) , 31, was reported missing exactly a week ago, before her corpse was uncovered by a police dog on Monday. It was hidden in thick undergrowth in the village of Paunat, in the Dordogne department, east of Bordeaux
'This is less than five miles from Trémolot, where Karen Carter, 65 and a mother of four, was stabbed repeatedly before succumbing to her wounds outside her home on 29 April.'
The British-South African national had spent a night out with friends, before dying next to her car.

Florian Roux, who was French, had also been planning a night out with friends, before her body was found close to her Vauxhall Corsa.
Both deaths are now being investigated by local prosecutors, supported by judicial police and gendarmes.''

''The body was found by a dog, who was one of seven involved in a search organised by gendarmes from Bergerac, said the source.

A doctor pronounced Ms Roux dead at the scene, before police removed her body.

Neither the circumstances nor cause of Ms Roux's death are yet known, and no theory – including the possibility of suicide – is being ruled out, said the source.

According to her her family, Floriane Roux was supposed to meet a friend for the evening on July 23, but the friend claims not to have seen her.''

Was a hitman hired to kill French expat Karen Carter?

Smiling at the camera and cuddling her new puppy, Haku, the mother-of-four was on the brink of a new life having decided to divorce her South African husband and set up home in south-west France.

Amid news that French police have now summoned a group of villagers for DNA tests, I returned to Tremolat this week to speak to those involved in the case.

Shockingly, I can reveal that Karen’s friends in the village are now convinced that her murder was not a ‘crime of passion’, as was previously speculated, but a cold-blooded professional hit –what is known in France as a ‘meurtre commandite’.

If the idea of a contract killer operating in this tranquil and bucolic corner of rural France seems outlandish, then it is a theory being given credence by French detectives, not least because of the sighting of a suspicious man spotted by Karen’s home just three days before she was killed.

The discovery of a 31-year-old woman’s body in a village five miles away appears to be yet another red herring. That death is said to have been a suicide.
