Predictions

Background

Belgium’s most notorious criminal will today ask a court to grant him early release from prison.

Marc Dutroux was convicted of abducting, imprisoning and raping six young girls in 2004. Dutroux kept his victims in the basement of his house. His ex-wife Michelle Martin was sentenced to 30 years for her part in the crime but released last July. A decision is not expected until the middle of the month.

He was given a life sentence after being found guilty of murdering two of the girls at a house in in the town of Marcinelles.

Feelings in the town remain strong. “He should not be let out if he hasn’t done the full sentence,” said one woman, “in some cases yes but this one no.”

Dutroux is in total isolation in prison and has no contact with other inmates. Prison authorities say this is for his own safety.
