Marc Dutroux (1956 - )
Profile
Marc Dutroux (born 6 November 1956 in Brussels) is one of the most notorious criminals in Belgian history. He was convicted of having, in 1995 and 1996, kidnapped, tortured and sexually abused six girls, ranging in age from 8 to 19, four of whom died as a result. He was also convicted of having killed a suspected former accomplice. He was arrested in 1996 and has been in prison since then. His widely publicized trial took place in 2004. A number of shortcomings in the Dutroux investigation caused widespread discontent in Belgium with the country's criminal justice system, and the ensuing scandal was one of the reasons for the reorganization of Belgium's law enforcement agencies. Dutroux is considered one of Europe's worst serial killers. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux [Dec 2004]Pedophilia [...]
? The media has characterized Dutroux as a pedophile. The four psychiatrists and a psychologist who have evaluated Dutroux have said that he is, rather, an antisocial psychopath:"The age of the victims did not seem to arouse in him any given effect or to play a particular role, beyond allowing him to kidnap them, to manipulate them, to confine them." --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux#Pedophilia.3F [Dec 2004]
