The two former spouses are serving sentences of criminal imprisonment

In November 2019, the two former spouses, who are serving sentences of criminal imprisonment, were taken into police custody in this case.

These police custody had made it possible to establish "a possible path for Michel Fourniret in the Orne that he does not dispute", underlined the prosecutor's office in Caen.

According to a source familiar with the matter, the son of the "Ogre des Ardennes" lived in the region at that time.

Entrusted to an investigating judge, the investigation was finally disoriented in Paris to be attached to the investigation file targeting the septuagenarian, whose health is declining.

This investigation, led by Judge Khéris, concerns the kidnappings and murders in Yonne of Marie-Angèle Domece, 19, in 1998 and Joanna Parrish, 20, in 1990 and Estelle Mouzin, 9, in 2003 in Guermantes (Seine-et-Marne).

Fourniret confessed to these three murders for which he is under investigation.

The serial killer was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2008 for the death of seven young women or teenage girls between 1987 and 2001. He was again sentenced in 2018 for a heinous murder.

Aged 78, he was hospitalized more than a month after becoming unwell on November 20 in his cell.

He joined the national public health establishment of Fresnes (Val-de-Marne) on December 29, according to a source familiar with the matter.
