Simon Odgers, 53, was arrested in Calais early on Friday morning as he tried to board a Channel ferry with the corpse of Barbara Odgers, 86, next to him.

But neighbours of their dilapidated property in the tiny hamlet of La Bost, near Chateau-Chinon, in Burgundy, became concerned when they heard ‘English voices shouting at each other’ on Wednesday.

[...]

Overnight on Thursday-Friday, they had driven some 550 miles from the house in Vernon, in the Archeche, where police found blood in the kitchen.

The pair had also stopped off at their home in La Bost, where detectives found the blood on the staircase.

[...]

Police were called to Calais at around 5am on Friday after the man reported his mother feeling unwell, but she was clearly dead when they inspected her body.

The investigation continues, and no theory has been ruled out, said Mr Marconville, who confirmed that a murder enquiry had been launched.

I'm trying to work this out - it seems like the reports of shouting at the second property where blood was found on the stairs were a day before they arrived there? Possibly confused reporting.
