Nordahl Lelandais, sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Maëlys, became a father in prison

Nordahl Lelandais, imprisoned since his conviction for the murder of Corporal Arthur Noyer in 2021, has just become the father of a little boy. According to information from Parisianthe companion of this former dog handler, who was also sentenced to life imprisonment for having kidnapped and killed little Maëlys, gave birth two months ago.

“Like any prisoner, he has the right to rebuild his life behind bars. Deprivation of liberty does not entail the suppression of other rights, in particular that of having a partner or becoming a father,” commented Mathieu Moutous, one of his lawyers, interviewed by the newspaper.

Since his incarceration, Nordahl Lelandais has had several relationships

Always according to The Parisian, the forty-year-old has had several romantic relationships since his incarceration. In December 2021, a woman confided in the Dauphiné Libéré after their breakup. Less than six months later, the inmate was surprised in the visiting room in the middle of sexual intercourse with another young woman, who met him for the first time after numerous epistolary exchanges. After this story, he was transferred to Ensisheim prison, in Haut-Rhin.

Nordahl Lelandais cannot hope for a reduction in his sentence and a possible conditional release before the expiration of his twenty-two year security measure, in 2039. He will then be 56 years old, recalls the daily. On Friday, he was again convicted for the sexual assault of his second cousin in 2017, when she was 14 years old.
