Actor son of 'murder-suicide' victim urges late mum's friends not to attend stepdad's funeral
An actor and musician whose mother was the victim of a suspected murder-suicide in France has urged her friends not to attend his stepfather's funeral.
Callum Kerr, who starred in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, said it would be "inappropriate" for the memory of his mum to be associated with a service honouring the man who "may have been responsible for her death". The bodies of British couple Andrew and Dawn Searle were discovered on 6 February at their home in the hamlet of Les Pesquies.
Mrs Searle's body was found outside the property with a significant head injury, while Mr Searle's body was discovered inside. Prosecutors later ruled the incident to be murder-suicide due to a lack of evidence that someone else was involved.
In an Instagram post on behalf of himself and his sister, Amanda Kerr, Mr Kerr said: "In the absence of any evidence suggesting third-party involvement in the tragic death of our mother, Dawn Kerr, the prevailing hypothesis remains that of a murder-suicide." Mr Kerr, a country music singer who is also set to appear in the second season of Netflix's One Piece, said his mother was "killed by multiple blows to the head.
