THE widow of a French serial killer dubbed \u2018The Ogre of the Ardennes\u2019 today went on trial accused of helping him to abduct female victims, including a British woman.<\/p>\n

Monique Olivier, 75, appeared in court in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Tuesday charged with aiding and abetting the gruesome attacks by the late Michel Fourniret.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Walking into court dressed in a grey sweatshirt, Olivier said \u201cyes\u201d as she confirmed her name, date of birth, and previous convictions.<\/p>\n

Before his death in 2021, her husband was accused of murdering eight girls and young women between 1987 and 2001.<\/p>\n

Olivier is already serving a life sentence for complicity in four of the killings and a gang rape committed by Fourniret.<\/p>\n

She is now on trial for being an accomplice in three further murders, including that of British student Joanna Parrish.<\/p>\n

The naked body of 20-year-old Parrish was found in the Yonne river in Auxerre in May 1990.<\/p>\n

Her parents, Roger Parrish and his ex-wife Pauline, Murrell have been battling for justice ever since, and are due to give evidence at the month-long trial.<\/p>\n

Fourniret was charged with abduction, rape and murder in the cases but died aged 79, before he could be brought to trial.<\/p>\n

His crimes date back to 1988 in the case of Marie-Angele Domece, 18, who, like Parrish, was initially reported missing from Auxerre, but whose body has never been found.<\/p>\n

Olivier is charged with aiding and abetting the kidnapping and murder of both women.<\/p>\n

The third charge is for Olivier\u2019s complicity in the 2003 disappearance of nine-year-old Estelle Mouzin, whose body has also never been found.<\/p>\n

Witnesses in the current trial include Sabine Kheris, the investigating magistrate who recorded Fourniret's confession.<\/p>\n

Ms Kheris is now in charge of a cold cases unit based in Nanterre, where the Hauts-de-Seine assizes court is situated.<\/p>\n

It was packed this morning, as photographers were briefly allowed in to take pictures of Olivier in the dock.<\/p>\n

Fourniret was dubbed the "Ogre of the Ardennes" after the region on the France-Belgium border where preyed on victims.<\/p>\n

Ms Olivier's lawyer, Richard Delgenes, said his client\u2019s "appearance in court" would set\u00a0her apart from her husband.<\/p>\n

"Unlike him, she takes no special pleasure in the pain of his victims or of the families," said Mr Delgenes.<\/p>\n

Olivier first became a pen pal of Fourniret while he was serving a jail sentence for rape.<\/p>\n

The two later agreed a pact that involved her helping him find virgins to rape, in return for Fourniret killing her violent first husband.<\/p>\n

The husband killing never happened, but Oliver and Fourniret married and had a son together.<\/p>\n

Olivier was handed a life sentence in 2008 over her role in four murders and a rape committed by Fourniret.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Olivier was given a further 20 years inside for her part in the killing of Farida Hammiche, the wife of one of Fourniret's former cellmates.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s case continues.<\/p>\n

Fourniret died in 2021 after falling into a coma.<\/p>\n

The 79-year-old was rushed to a secure unit at the Piti\u00e9 Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re in Paris "suffering from respiratory problems".<\/p>\n

The public prosecutor in France confirmed in May that year that the monster had died.<\/p>\n

A source told Le Parisien newspaper at the time: "He is suffering with heart problems and mental degeneration, has been placed in a coma, and doctors consider he cannot be resuscitated."<\/p>\n

Fourniret's spree of sexual violence dates back over 50 years, and he was jailed in the 1960s and 1980s for groping children.<\/p>\n

Olivier, his third wife, wrote to him in jail and made a pact to help him find virgins to satisfy his sick fantasies if he murdered her first husband.<\/p>\n

Just two months after his release, she helped him snatch 17-year-old Isabelle Laville as she walked home from school in December 1987.<\/p>\n

She was the first of many victims who were\u00a0raped, strangled and dumped by the wicked pair.<\/p>\n

He was finally caught in 2003 when a 13-year-old girl he snatched clawed her way free and ran for help.<\/p>\n
