These are the last images of the British man Andrew Searle who was found dead with his wife in their idyllic French house.
Mr. Searle can be seen by entering a tobacco list in the nearby city of Villefranche de Rouergue at Wednesday evening at 6 pm when the store closed.
If you look happy and relaxed, he will be considering buying a chocolate bar and two lottery tickets of 3 euros before he thanked the shopkeeper and walked away to his car outside where the woman Dawn waited.
Around his neck is a tracking device that is used to keep an eye on the two hunting dogs of the couple and that were found on the spot and taken away for DNA tests by the police according to what has been described as their 'violent dead'.
Isabelle Palazy, 58, who served Mr. Searle, said: 'I just couldn't believe it when I heard the news. He and Dawn were regular customers. He would come in every day and buy Fortuna Blue cigarettes.
“That day he came in just before I closed and he seemed completely happy, he was relaxed and he talked and bought some chocolate and two lots.
'Thinking that they would die less than 24 hours later makes me cold, I just can't believe it. They were a nice couple, always happy and chatting and they spoke reasonably French.

“He worked on his house, and he would come here and boy chocolate bars here, kitkat and children were his favorite.”
On the CCTV you can see Mr Searle who arrives at 17.51, just like a woman with a baby is about to leave.
He is patiently waiting behind another man before taking the chocolate that places him on the counter and asks for two lottery tickets.
He pays with a card before leaving for two minutes at 5.53 pm and he and his wife were found the next day at 12.30 pm.
