Murder of Magalie Méjean in Martinique: suspect charged twelve years after the facts
Nearly a decade and a half after the disappearance of a young woman from Normandy in Martinique, a man has been arrested and placed under the status of charged person. He is suspected of having killed and raped Magalie Méjean, a 28-year-old woman from Caen who was last seen in 2013 on the island.
The magistrate of the public prosecutor's office of Fort-de-France, Yann Le Bris, confirmed this information to the editorial staff of Martinique La 1re, according to Ouest-France. The arrest took place on Thursday, 20 November 2025.
The victim was from the Caen metropolitan area. She had travelled to Martinique before disappearing without a trace. Since then, her loved ones and family have never stopped demanding that justice be done.
The judicial authorities have not disclosed the identity of the arrested person or the investigative elements that led to identifying them. The prosecutor of Fort-de-France was discreet about the precise circumstances of this arrest.
This case had aroused strong emotion in the Normandy region. Commemorative initiatives had been organised, including a running race near Caen to pay tribute to Magalie on the occasion of the year in which she would have celebrated her 40th birthday, as reported by Ouest-France.
Investigations are now continuing under the direction of the public prosecutor's office of Fort-de-France in order to establish all the facts and responsibilities in this case of murder and rape.
