Overwhelming evidence was cited during the trial of Nordahl Lelandais this Thursday, February 10. This had overturned the investigation.
An important discovery. Incarcerated in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier prison since September 2017, Nordahl Lelandais was sentenced nine months ago to twenty years of criminal imprisonment for the murder of Arthur Noyerwhich occurred in April 2017. Since Monday, January 31, he must again appear before an assize court but, this time, it is for the murder of little Maëlys de Araujo. The trial continues this Thursday, February 10 and many revelations continue to emerge. While an expert from the gendarmerie was at the helm, he mentioned Nordahl Lelandais’ vehicle analysis, which was very important. “It happened in several stages“, he first explained. “The first phase was very fast. This aimed to deal with the most urgent to have results in 24 hours.“, he continued before evoking the second: “More pushed, it gives nothing decisive“, he lamented. Subsequently, it is the viewing of the images of video surveillance of a car wash which led the investigating judge to request a more thorough examination, that is to say in the trunk and front passenger door. “We then find out about how to disassemble an Audi properly so as not to damage any evidence”, explained the gendarme before evoking a “tiny drop of blood found under a carpet, in the rear left area of the trunk“. This was enough to bring down Nordahl Lelandais since its identification confirmed that it is the blood of Maëlys de Araujo.
Shocking revelations. At the helm this afternoon are three experts, including a lawyer, who confided in the body of Maëlys de Araujo. “When we recovered the body, there were no more biological elements“, first explained one of them. Subsequently, a 3D scanner reconstruction of Maëlys’s skull was viewed. “What can be seen on the photo of the skull from the front, you have a broken nose bone, a piece of bone missing. Then we can observe a right parasympyseal fracture and at the level of the left mandible another invoice“, he indicates. According to the words of the medical examiner, there is a “low probability of death as described by Nordahl Lelandais. Bleeding lesions do not result in immediate death“, he said before adding: “In conclusion, there is no incompatibility between the bone lesions and the mechanism evoked by Nordahl Lelandaisthat is to say a blow, but on the other hand, there is little chance that the death occurred as described by Nordahl Lelandais“, he continued. As a reminder, Nordahl Lelandais claimed to have “given a simple slap“to Maëlys de Araujo after she started”whine“. A track that seems to have been dismissed by the experts and the medical examiner.
Maëlys de Araujo: what are the three hypotheses of his death?
At the helm, the experts mentioned three hypotheses concerning the death of Maëlys de Araujo. “We found facial trauma, so we may have head trauma or whiplash“, first explained one of them. “The cause of death can also be hemorrhagic“, he continued before adding: ” Dental debris that can get at the crossroads with the airway and block it, the air can no longer enter and the blood is no longer oxygenated and this can lead to death“. Very moving words, which contradict those made by Nordahl Lelandais from the start.
