“I recognize all the facts,” said the accused Monique Olivier on Wednesday, on the second day of her trial before the Hauts-de-Seine Assize Court, for complicity in the kidnappings and murders of Joanna Parrish, Marie-Angèle Domèce and Estelle Mouzin.
The ex-wife of the rapist and serial killer Michel Fourniret was briefly questioned at the start of the followingnoon, between the hearings of two witnesses, on the reading of the facts that the president had carried out on Tuesday on the first day of the hearing. “I regret everything that happened,” the accused said on Tuesday following this reading.
Monique Olivier, 75, is on trial for complicity in kidnapping and sequestration followed by death to the detriment of Estelle Mouzin, then aged nine. She is also appearing for complicity in the kidnapping and confinement, rape or attempted rape, then the murder of two young women aged 18 and 20, Joanna Parrish and Marie-Angèle Domèce.
She then listened to the testimony of Francis Nachbar, former public prosecutor of Charleville-Mézières, who had filed charges once morest her and Michel Fourniret in 2008 during the couple’s first trial. “The duplicity of this woman is beyond comprehension,” said the retired magistrate, recounting having attended the interrogations of Monique Olivier by Belgian investigators in 2004.
The day before, the septuagenarian had claimed that her ex-husband had “used” her to commit his crimes, denying any “criminal pact” between them. She has already been sentenced twice by assize courts, to life imprisonment in 2008 then to 20 years in 2018, for complicity in the crimes of “the ogre of the Ardennes”. The bodies of Marie-Angèle Domèce and Estelle Mouzin were never found, despite several excavation campaigns.
