Marc Dutroux, the “Monster of Belgium” (en.wikipedia.org), is in the news again. I haven’t found an English-language source yet, so this blurb is translated from Czech:

Several hundred people demonstrated on Sunday in a heavy rain in Brussels against the possible conditional release of pedophile killer Marc Dutroux (62). Among the 400 protesters were the victims’ parents.

“I don’t think the rapists could have it any better,” one of the demonstrators told RTL, Belgium. “Once they’re let go, they will start again,” she added.

The protest organizers responded because the Belgian prosecutor’s office had approved Dutroux’s lawyers’ request that their client undergo a psychiatric examination, which is a condition for his possible conditional release.

Dutroux was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2004 for the kidnapping, torture and rape of six girls and the death of four of them.
