BELGIUM

A Belgian court has decided to transfer the jailed ex-wife of the notorious child killer Marc Dutroux to a convent.
The “conditional release” ruling came after a convent near Namur in southern Belgium agreed to take her in.
Last year France refused to let Michelle Martin move to a convent in northern France.
She has spent 16 years in prison, out of a 30-year jail term. She was found complicit in two of Dutroux’s four murders of young girls.
