Will Nordahl Lelandais be indicted for the fifth time? The former dog handler was removed from his cell on Friday, February 7, to be placed in police custody, according to BFMTV and Le Dauphiné libéré. The latter is part of an open judicial investigation for "sexual assault on a minor" and "death threats". One of his cousins, now 17, filed a complaint against him last spring. Nordahl Lelandais is already under investigation for the murder of Maëlys in August 2017, as well as for the assassination of Corporal Arthur Noyer in April of the same year. He is also indicted for sexual assault on two little cousins, one of whom is his goddaughter.

The events date back to March 2017. On the day of the alleged assault, Charlotte * must bury her father. The whole family is present before the funeral. Shaken by sorrow, before the start of the ceremony, the teenager prefers to step aside to smoke a cigarette. Nordahl Lelandais accompanies him. According to the story she gave to the investigators, her cousin first took her in his arms. He would then have caressed her buttocks and then touched her chest before she pushed him away. "He told me 'if you say something, I will kill you'," she confided to BFMTV last summer. The accused allegedly subsequently sent dozens of displaced SMS messages.

Charlotte will take two years to emerge from the silence. It is the revelations around the first little cousin that will push her to break the silence. After finally confiding in her mother, she filed a complaint last April. The investigation was entrusted to the gendarmes of the Research section of Reims.
