Belgium’s top appeal court has 30 days to consider the appeal.
Jean-Denis Lejeune, whose eight-year-old daughter Julie was one of four young
girls killed in Dutroux’s murderous spree between 1995 and 1996, said the
decision to release Martin was “akin to chucking a fox into a henhouse.”
Dutroux himself was jailed for life in June 2004 for the kidnap and rape in
the 1990s of six young and teenage girls and the murder of the four of them
who died.
Martin was also convicted in 2004 helping Dutroux hold his victims prisoner,
and of complicity in the deaths of two of the girls, found starved to death
in a locked cellar.
Martin, who married Dutroux in 1983 and had three children by him before their
divorce in 2003, has been in jail since the case was uncovered in 1996.
