Mrs Carter, 65, a British-South African mother-of-four, was discovered with eight serious stab wounds near her front door in the Dordogne village where she had lived for over a decade. The suspect was initially taken into custody in 2025 as part of the investigation but was released without charge before being formally charged on Wednesday.
