Maëlys de Araujo murder: Colleagues donate leave to mother

Colleagues of the mother of murdered French girl Maëlys de Araujo have donated part of their leave to her - totalling almost three years.

Jennifer de Araujo is a night nurse at a hospital in the town of Pontarlier. She stopped working when Maëlys went missing at a wedding last August.

Her 1,300 fellow workers were given a chance to donate their leave while the search was going on.

This week Maëlys' body was found and the main suspect confessed to murder.

The leave donation was organised by the trade union at the hospital where Ms de Araujo works.
