An infamous child killer who abducted, raped and murdered girls in Belgium in the 1990s has enraged victims’ families with a letter offering to answer their questions.
Marc Dutroux was jailed in 1996 and has for years sought release from prison, now his lawyer has written to the six families in an attempt to help “heal their wounds, in some very modest way”.
According to BBC News, several families have rejected the approach as a cynical move aimed at securing parole.
Now age 61, Dutroux was a seasoned criminal when he and his wife Michelle Martin were arrested for abduction and rape in 1986. Jailed in 1989, he was released on parole after just three years.
In 1995 and 1996 he kidnapped six girls. He murdered two teenagers, while two eight year olds, starved to death in his cellar. Two girls aged 12 and 14 survived.
