Re Karen's husband...

Why would the man bare his soul to tabloids??
Divorce & alleged "battles" are PRIVATE matters.
Matters between the spouses.

He described his late wife in beautiful words to the public,
as a proud and honourable man would.

"Never say bad things about the dead",
"never wash dirty linen in public"
- these are common in civilized societies.

After all,
they once had a good life together
and had children
who might read these words one day.

I think, being in a process of divorce isn't something, I have to lie about as a widower of a murdered woman. I wouldn't have to tell more details like having had fights about their possession or similar.

What, if AC had a connection to ML and used her for learning about Karen's village life? Maybe, she was willing to have him informed regularly? He could have known her from his last visit/vacation in France. MOO

The woman is not a suspect.
No evidence was found to charge her.
I also don't think she was used as an informer by a husband.
She seems to be a vulnerable person with alleged MH issues.
Forced to leave her home due to these tragic circumstances, allegations and gossip.

JMO as always

Probably there would have been a language barrier between AC and ML. IIRC, at some point AC mentioned that he felt excluded from the village life that his wife enjoyed.

Besides,
There was husband's cousin living in this place.
The same who informed the family of Karen's death as Police didn't do so.
If IRC.

Mystery of Brit's murder deepens as DNA evidence points to 'outsider'

Forensic evidence found at the scene of the murder of a British woman in the Dordogne does not match any of her neighbours - pointing to 'an outsider' being responsible

Forensic evidence found at the scene of the murder of a British woman in the Dordogne does not match any of her neighbours – pointing to ‘an outsider’ being responsible, according to French police.

The revelation follows at least 15 people who were close to Karen Carter in the village of Trémolet, east of Bordeaux, having to submit DNA samples to police, and all being cleared.

Detectives investigating the savage stabbing outside the 65-year-old’s home on April 29th – seven months ago – have now launched a fresh ‘appeal for witnesses’.

Ummm....

"Appeal for witnesses"???

Call me skeptical

 

[indicolite22]

A brief news report on the latest police appeal for witnesses contains some new footage of the location and a short interview with a male friend who was with Karen 20 minutes before her death, presumably at the wine tasting event. He does not believe the appeal with give any results, because it was made too late. It is also mentioned that some villagers (who won't go on camera) suspect the husband, but emphasized that there's no proof for any of the theories.
