A BRIT mum who was fatally stabbed outside her home in France was found by a friend who is said to have desperately tried to save her.

In the French village of Trémolat, located east of Bordeaux, 65-year-old Karen Carter was viciously murdered in what has been described as a “frenzied attack,” with her suspect still on the loose.

The much-loved Brit local is to have suffered the “savage attack” on Tuesday evening, after a night out at a local bar with a male friend.

Sylvie Martins-Guedes, the prosecutor in Bergerac, reported that emergency services were alerted on Tuesday at approximately 10:17 p.m. for a “65-year-old woman in cardiac arrest” at a residence.

According to the prosecutor, Carter was “found by a friend she had been dating for several weeks,” and she was discovered with “bleeding injuries.”

“The victim had several injuries, including five deep ones caused by a sharp object, notably on her right breast, groin, arm, and leg,” the prosecutor explained.

A source close to the matter said that she suffered “five deep injuries” which pointed to “ferocious violence and a desire to kill”.

The British-South African mother-of-four was found severely injured, lying on the ground near her car, according to the source.

The man she was reported to be dating tried to save her, according to French newspaper La Dépêche.

Despite his first aid efforts and those by medics, Carter tragically died.

A homicide investigation has been immediately opened.

The prosecutor said that, at this stage, all leads are being explored.

Originally from the UK, Carter had lived in the village for over a decade and was deeply involved in local life, La Dépêche reported.

She was reportedly married and mother to four children living abroad.

Carter is believed to have spent her time between Trémolat and South Africa.

She is said to have ran a guesthouse and was involved in the local community café in the Périgord village.

The community café has cancelled events scheduled for the days following the tragedy.

At one point in her life, she also ran a lifestyle blog for women over 50 called “La Vie est Belle” (Life is Beautiful).

Carter was also a member of the “Football Queens”, a women’s team made up of women over 50 who recently represented Dordogne in a global “Granny Football” tournament in South Africa.

A Trémolat resident said: “Everyone is in total shock – Ms Carter was a delightful, energetic person who got on with everybody.

“We saw emergency vehicles in the village, and then lots of police cars, and then the area around her house was cordoned off.”

They said that “nobody can understand how this could have happened in a peaceful place like this” and that many residents were “keeping our doors locked”, according to France Bleu.

The woman’s friend is not in custody, and the Bergerac prosecutor says “all avenues are being explored”.

The Foreign Office told The Sun that they had not yet been approached for assistance but were “ready to support British nationals abroad 24/7”.

The Bergerac investigative unit and the Agen criminal investigation unit are continuing their efforts to identify the individual or individuals responsible for this crime.

In February, Brit couple Andrew and Dawn Searle were found dead at their home in the south west village of Les Peques, north of Toulouse.

Prosecutors revealed that Andrew was found hanging by a rope attached to a radiator at his rural home in France.
