The trial of Michel Fourniret — who reportedly enlisted his wife’s help to seize virgin girls to rape and kill — began March 27, 2008, with Fourniet refusing to speak unless court went into closed session and refusing to let the press take his photograph. The Times of Londonreported the gory details:

“The couple resembled ordinary French pensioners, he with his arms folded in a professorial pose, she sucking in her cheeks like a watchful grandmother. Behind the façade, however, lay a cold-blooded sexual predator who raped and killed victims with the help of his wife and accomplice, a court was told yesterday.

As Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier sat in a glass-fronted dock on the opening day of their trial, jurors were told chilling details of the grey-haired couple alleged to be among the most horrific criminals in the history of France. Using an image of happily-married respectability, Olivier would gain the confidence of the girls and women they had identified as prey.

After they had been bound, gagged and sometimes drugged by her husband, she would examine them to check they were the virgins he desired.

She would then hand them over to Fourniret ‘in the sole aim of allowing him to fulfil his fantasies,’ according to a report read out in the court in Charleville-Mézières, in the Franco-Belgian border region where they once lived. He would assault his victims — ‘beautiful little subjects’ was how he referred to them — before shooting or strangling them, the report by investigating magistrates said.

One, a ‘serious, prudent and intelligent’ 20-year-old student, had air injected into her veins to provoke a heart attack, the magistrates said.

Fourniret, 65, is on trial charged with the murder of seven girls and women aged between 12 and 21 in France and Belgium between 1987 and 2001. He has confessed to the crimes.

Olivier, 59, who is charged with one count of murder and complicity in four other killings, has admitted helping her husband but has sought to minimise her role with a claim that she was in his psychological grip.”

The “Ogre of the Ardennes” and his wife were expected to also stand trial in the future for other slayings in which they are suspects; this trial, though, was expected to take about two months. Fourniret apparently expected to get life in prison, but Olivier was reportedly hoping for leniency on a platform of being the manipulated wife.

Fourniret was caught in 2003, when a Belgian would-be victim, 13, broke free after being kidnapped. She reportedly told police that Fourniret bragged he was “far better” than Belgian serial killer Marc Dutroux.

PETALING JAYA: Dunia politik tanah air pada Isnin dikejutkan dengan penemuan pita rakaman aksi perlakuan seks seorang pemimpin tertinggi parti pembangkang dengan seorang wanita asing di sebuah hotel di ibu kota dekat sini.

Rakaman bertarikh 21 Februari yang berdurasi selama 30 minit itu menunjukkan aksi-aksi seks Ahli Parlimen berprofail tinggi berkenaan dari pelbagai sudut yang jelas menampakkan wajah beliau bersama wanita terbabit yang dipercayai seorang pelacur.

Pita rakaman berkenaan ditemui tersembunyi di dalam bilik hotel berkenaan baru-baru ini.

Malah, jam tangan pemimpin terbabit dikatakan tertinggal di bilik itu selepas aksi berkenaan dirakamkan.

Beberapa wakil media telah dipertontonkan dengan rakaman berkenaan secara individu di sebuah bilik hotel oleh sekumpulan orang yang tidak dikenali yang diketuai oleh seorang lelaki yang hanya dikenali sebagai Datuk T.

Datuk T memberitahu, dia mahu media menyaksikan sendiri rakaman tersebut sebelum menyerahkan kepada pemimpin berkenaan dan isterinya untuk tujuan pengecaman dalam tempoh seminggu ini.

Katanya, jika ahli politik kanan berkenaan dikenal pasti, pemimpin itu dan isterinya perlu ‘mengundurkan diri dari politik’ kerana ternyata beliau bukan seorang yang ‘warak dengan moral yang tinggi seperti mana yang digambarkan’.

Kata Datuk T lagi, jika kedua-dua mereka enggan berundur, beliau akan memanggil beberapa pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (NGO) bagi membentuk satu panel bebas serta mengupah pakar forensik bagi mengkaji keaslian rakaman berkenaan.

Beliau mendakwa secara tidak sengaja menemui pita rakaman terbabit selepas diminta oleh pemimpin politik berkenaan mencari jam tangannya yang tertinggal di bilik di mana rakaman itu dipercayai dilakukan.

“Saya tidak menemui jam tangan itu di atas meja, jadi saya cari di belakang meja solek. Saya terkejut terlihat banyak wayar di belakangnya.

“Selepas meneliti, saya temui empat kamera litar tertutup (CCTV), saya kemudian cuba membuka dua laci dari meja solek berkenaan dan mendapati salah satu daripadanya berkunci.

“Saya cuba buka laci berkenaan dengan mengumpil kuncinya sebelum menemui perakam CCTV yang masih aktif, saya putuskan wayarnya dan ambil perakam itu,” dakwanya lagi.

Beliau bertegas tidak menyerahkan kepada mana-mana pihak kerana bimbang ia akan disalin dan disebarkan.

Wakil-wakil media termasuk The Star dipertontonkan rakaman tersebut melalui komputer peribadi di bilik itu yang dikawal ketat.

Sebelum masuk, wartawan The Star diperiksa dan telefon bimbitnya diambil.

Lain-lain media termasuk dari BERNAMA, New Straits Times, Utusan Malaysia, China Press, portal berita Internet, agensi berita asing dan sekurang-kurangnya seorang wakil daripada organ pembangkang turut hadir.

Rakaman berkenaan menunjukkan imej yang jelas akan pemimpin pembangkang berkenaan dan wanita terbabit berkulit cerah yang dipercayai dari Asia Timur.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Komunikasi Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR), Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad dalam reaksi segeranya menerusi laman Tweeter menyifatkan ia adalah rakaman palsu.
