MONS – A court in the southern Belgian city of Mons decided yesterday not to release the former wife and accomplice of convicted child murderer Marc Dutroux because officials do not know where to send her.

Michelle Martin, who was imprisoned in 1996 for her part in helping Dutroux kidnap six girls, four of whom were killed or died of neglect, was cleared for release in May this year, having served half her 30-year jail sentence. – (Reuters)
