She was discovered “collapsed and unconscious” near her car in the village of Trémolat on Tuesday.
French prosecutors now say the suspect, who also lives in Trémolat and was known to the couple, has been detained.
Sylvie Martins-Guedes, the prosecutor for Bergerac, said Karen had “several wounds, of which five were deep and caused by a sharp object, notably to the chest, the groin, the arm and the leg”.
“The wounds revealed a singular violence and their placement showed the desire to kill,” she added.
A murder investigation has been launched, led by officers in Bergerac and Agen.
