The trial of Nordahl Lelandais for the murder of the young soldier Arthur Noyer will take place from May 3 to 12, 2021 before the Assize Court of Savoy, indicates this Wednesday the public prosecutor's office. Four years after the disappearance of the 23-year-old corporal, member of the 13th Battalion of Alpine hunters, the 37-year-old former dog handler will have to explain himself before three professional magistrates and six jurors drawn from the electoral lists.
Put under investigation for assassination at first in December 2017, Nordahl Lelandais had recognized in March 2018 a fight between him and Arthur Noyer which had led to the latter's death. In February, the Chambéry public prosecutor's office requested that he be returned to the assize courts for murder, thus excluding premeditation. He had been followed by the examining magistrates.
Lawyer Contests Homicide Intent
At the end of June, Nordahl Lelandais had made it known, through his lawyer Alain Jakubowicz, that he was contesting this classification and the intention to kill him. According to the respondent, the events took place in Saint-Baldoph, near Chambéry, on the night of April 11 to 12, 2017, after he had hitched the soldier from Bourges, leaving a night club in the city center.
His defense did not contest the qualification of murder before the investigating chamber "so as not to delay the date of the trial". But she fully intends that "the debate on the legal classification of the facts takes place contradictorily before the Assize Court". Nordahl Lelandais is also under investigation for the murder of the little Maëlys De Araujo, and for sexual assault on three young cousins. The investigation of the first case, which had moved the whole of France, is in its final phase.
