Andrew and Dawn Searle were found dead in the French village of Les Pequiès last week .

Their bodies were discovered by a friend when she came around to the house with her dog.

The prosecutor in charge of the case, Nicolas Rigot-Muller , said she had severe head wounds caused by a blunt weapon.

The couple retired to this region five years ago and other mailboxes in the hamlet indicate they are not the only expatriates in the region.

The prosecutor leading the case is handing over the investigation to a senior judge in Montpellier .

He added that if they were murdered, and it goes to trial, he would lead the prosecution.

Dr Remy Sevigne , the psychologist who answers the counselling hotline from the leaflets, told me that so far around a dozen people have called him for support.
