Belgian serial killer Marc Dutroux, sentenced to life in prison in 2024 for multiple child abductions and murders, had previously evaded full justice after a 1992 release.
Marc Dutroux, a Belgian serial killer known as 'Le Monstre,' was sentenced to life in prison in 2024 for abducting, torturing, raping, and murdering multiple children and teens, including two eight-year-olds who starved to death in a dungeon he built.
After being released in 1992 following a partial 13-year sentence for earlier assaults, he continued his crimes with the help of accomplices, including his wife Michelle Martin.
His 1996 arrest, prompted by the rescue of two victims, exposed widespread police failures and sparked a 300,000-person protest demanding reform.
The case led to major changes in Belgium’s justice and child protection systems.
