Nordahl Lelandais arrives escorted by French prison administration officers at the courthouse of the French Alps city of Chambery on May 3, 2021. — AFP picCHAMBÉRY , May 3 — A former French soldier who has admitted killing an eight-year-old girl, a case that shook the country nearly four years ago, appeared in court Monday on charges he also beat a man to death just a few months before.
Lelandais has also confessed to killing eight-year-old Maelys de Araujo in August 2017, in a case that horrified France and which is set to go to trial next year. “Yes I killed Arthur Noyer, but I never wanted to kill him,” Lelandais told the court, where Noyer’s parents and brother sat with an oversize portrait of the victim.
He told police that Noyer had struck him in a parking lot where they had stopped, prompting a fight that ended when Noyer was knocked out. Investigators only linked Lelandais to Noyer’s death after he was arrested over the murder of Maelys, who vanished in the early hours of August 27, 2017, while attending a wedding near Chambery with her parents.
