British foreign millionaire murdered outside his home in France

Millionaire David Daniels, a British immigrant, was shot dead outside his 300-acre estate in France after a years-long argument with a neighbor. Daniels, 72, was allegedly killed by French farmer Jean Moreau, 84, after a conflict over the appearance of Moreau's farm.

Property owner and wife Gaye Daniels moved full-time to France three years ago. David joined the local civic association, attended a meeting to increase tourist visits and was enthusiastic about creating a "postcard" from his window. However, while Daniels longed for a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and the farm of Moreau's farm, Moreau was not supportive of his efforts to improve the view. The farm where Moreau lived for 51 years was a mess of old tractor tires and cattle feed.

Neighbors reported that Daniels had been fighting with Moreau and as a result of that conflict, the farmer shot Daniels on his property last week.

The moment of the attack may have been captured by surveillance cameras because a video camera was installed outside the house. After a court hearing, the judge charged Moreau with murder with premeditation and was remanded in custody while his son was released. The Moreau family was a tenant of Daniels' farm throughout the time until Daniels moved there permanently.

Daniels was known as a car racing enthusiast and participated in the Circuit des Remparts retro race in Angoulême every year. He was taking part in a race at Poe on his way home when tragedy struck. Local residents are surprised and saddened by Daniels' murder, describing him as a friendly man whom everyone knew and respected in the local community.
