Cruzy makes the papers


This week the papers and radio stations have been talking about our dear little village (it may be on TV too, but we do not have one).

On Sunday, a cycilist riding through the hills around Cruzy found a body at the side of the road. It was the body of a woman who was reported missing back in April. Two men, one from Toulouse and another from Beziers have been arrested for her murder. Her husband was found on Tuesday.We believe the men told the Police the location of his body. We believed the Police were searching between Cruzy and Villespassans
close to where the woman was found, but the papers showed photos of the site which is close to The Terminus restaurant on route to Quarante.

According to the local paper, the villagers are not talking about the murders. How very wrong they are. It’s the only news being discussed.

The couple recently moved to Argeliers, not too far from Cruzy. The two men were builders who had worked on their home. The papers have begun to call the men labourers to try and distance the local builders from these two men. Apparently the men were attracted to items in the home. They had been using the couple's bank card to withdraw cash. All the latest news can be found at the Midi Libre site - http://www.midilibre.com/articles/2008/05/05/20080505-FAIT-DU-JOUR-Le-corps-du-mari-retrouve-a-Cruzy.php5

In a largely crime-free rural area, this news has hit hard; all we were aware of before this was a story of missing flowerpots...
