Marc Dutroux Part 2

Marc Dutroux was a Belgian serial killer and child rapist. In 1989 Dutroux was convicted of five sexual assaults and sentenced to thirteen years in prison. He only served three years. Over the next four years, he kidnapped and raped young girls, some of whom he murdered. He had several accomplices, including his own wife. The case led to speculation about inefficiency and corruption in Belgian law enforcement and politics. The public denounced the police for failing to pursue leads and ignoring witnesses.

Join Mike and Gibby for the 2nd and final part of their discussion on Marc Dutroux. This remains one of Belgium’s most notorious criminal trials. On August 13th, 1996 Marc Dutroux and two accomplices, one his wife, were arrested for kidnapping two young girls. He led the police to five more bodies but claimed he didn’t kill the missing girls. He was part of an elaborate network that trafficked young girls for the Belgian elite. In this episode, we’ll discuss a parliamentary inquiry into the case, mysterious witness deaths, and Dutroux’s trial eight years after his arrest.
