His words are strong. The day after our revelations about the paternity of Nordahl Lelandais while he is in prison, Jennifer de Araujo, the mother of little Maëlys killed in 2017 by the man incarcerated at the Ensisheim power plant (Haut-Rhin), reacted on her Facebook account on Saturday. "It's sickening, our children didn't have the right to live," she wrote, adding that Nordahl Lelandais "didn't deserve anything." "He has all the rights, our children had the right to exist, to have a future, it's beautiful French justice, nothing to give a shit about the victims," she said angrily.
It's disgusting, to gerber, we our children didn't have the right to live, he chose this pedophile monster to them...

In another post on Friday, de Araujo said she was "disgusted." "Poor child... In which family did he fall," she added, regretting "that chemical castration is not used in France."
22-year security measure
Jennifer de Araujo had already spoken on January 12 on the set of "Ça commence aujourd'hui" on France 2. Accompanied by her other daughter Colleen, Jennifer looked back on the terrible day of August 27, 2017, Maëlys' last. Footage of the girl filming herself with her games console has been released. "That's the only memory I have of Maëlys, of her voice and then of her side... she liked to make little videos like that," Jennifer de Araujo said.
Nordahl Lelandais was sentenced in February 2022 by the Assize Court of Isère for the kidnapping and murder of little Maëlys, then 8 years old. A year earlier, he had also been convicted of the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer, also in 2017. Nordahl Lelandais was given a 22-year security order, preventing him from being released from prison until 2039.
The former dog handler was again sentenced to one year in prison on January 12 for the sexual assault of one of his minor cousins in 2017.
