Teenage French girl raped and murdered by jilted boyfriend

16-YEAR-OLD French girl was kidnapped, raped and then murdered by a jilted boyfriend she met after accidentally sending a text message to his mobile phone.

The man, 43-year-old Bruno Noye, turned a sawn-off shotgun on himself after shooting the girl at close range, said prosecutor Jean-Luc Beck. Noye died of his wounds at a hospital.

Police said that Noye was angered by the girl’s attempt to end their relationship and drove to her home in western France with the intention of killing her. A note detailing the plan, dated September, was found in Noye’s home, said Beck.
