Paris tragedy: 21‑year-old model murdered after Olympics

A few days ago in Paris, there was a terrible murder. Just after the closing of the Olympic Games, police revealed the body of a young woman. A Nigerian migrant likely killed the 21-year-old French woman.

On the night from Monday to Tuesday, a 21-year-old woman was found dead in an apartment in the 18th district of Paris. She was reported missing on the evening of Sunday, August 11. She participated in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. She worked in the communications department at Stade de France.

21-year-old Noémie started as a hostess in VIP lounges and also pursued a career in modeling. She was last seen around 1 a.m. about a mile from her home, reports the French portal 75secondes.fr.

The media initially reported that the victim was from Poland. It is now known that this information was not confirmed. The mentioned portal states that Noémie was helping a 48-year-old Nigerian man who had arrived in France two years ago. Love O. was known to the police for minor offenses. His partner reported to investigators that she received a message from him stating that he had "done something very stupid."

According to 75secondes.fr, the police revealed Noémie's body in the apartment. She was partially naked, with clear signs of violence visible on her body, including an open throat wound. The Nigerian man attempted suicide by combining drugs and alcohol, but the authorities saved his life. He was taken to the hospital and is the main suspect in the murder case.

French media add that the 21-year-old was known for being kind and always willing to help. She taught the migrant the French language and assisted with administrative matters. They had known each other for at least two years.
