A Scottish woman and her husband, a former bank boss, are dead in France. Police investigate murder or gangland hit.
French police work with British police to solve the mystery. Andrew investigated financial crimes, and people suggest a gang ordered his murder. Other theories exist about their deaths, including murder-suicide and robbery.
The couple’s families are going to France to seek answers to the deaths. Andrew’s father, Fred, wants to know what happened, saying they have questions but few answers.
Reports say Dawn was outside in pajamas and had head injuries, with jewelry scattered around her. Andrew was inside the house, found hanged and gagged.
A source told the Scottish Daily Express that the motive might be from Andrew’s past work, as he likely knew dangerous people. His work hurt those people directly, and some of them now are in jail. Investigators will check his past cases.
The couple died in Les Pesquiès last Thursday. A prosecutor said their deaths were violent but couldn’t rule out murder-suicide. A source said it might be murder, suggesting criminals from the UK were after them.
Andrew once fought organized crime and terrorism. This is a priority for investigators, along with his work tackling money laundering in Russia at Standard Life and Barclays Bank.
The town mayor believes it was homicide, not a robbery or a family issue. He said they were part of the village, with Andrew helping with the festival and inviting neighbors for drinks. They moved from Scotland ten years ago, where Andrew also fought crime and terrorism.
Dawn’s son is Callum Kerr, who acted in Hollyoaks. The family shared a social media message expressing their grief over Dawn and Andrew’s deaths. They requested privacy during this time and said they will share updates later.
