Misdirected text started teen's contact with her murderer

A 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.
