In its new issue, Paris Match unveiled an unpublished snapshot of Maëlys de Araujo and her sister: a selfie taken a few hours before her death.
They experienced the unthinkable. On the night of August 27, 2017, little Maëlys was kidnapped. After months of searching, his body had been found. Five years later, on February 18, 2022, Nordahl Lelandais is found guilty of the kidnapping and murder of the girl. Sentenced to life imprisonment, accompanied by a 22-year security sentence, the man had apologized to the family of Maëlys. A verdict that had been called “satisfactory” by the little girl’s mother.
Jennifer de Araujo will now try to rebuild herself, alongside her other daughter, Colleen, 17, whose life was also shattered by the murder of her little sister. She confided in this subject in the columns of Paris Matchwhich unveiled a unpublished photo of Colleen and Maëlys in the cover of their new issue. We can thus see the two sisters, very accomplices, in a car which takes them to the wedding. “Last selfie. With his sister, Colleen (left), on the road to the wedding, a few hours before her death, August 27, 2017”, can we read in the caption of the photo. A moving shot of the last happy moments of Maëlys’ life.
