The criminal requisition for life was requested on Monday December 18 against Monique Olivier, ex-wife of the rapist and serial killer Michel Fourniret, tried since November 28 by the Hauts-de-Seine Assize Court for complicity in the kidnappings and murders of Marie-Angèle Domèce, Joanna Parrish and Estelle Mouzin.

“In view of the exceptional seriousness of the acts committed, the necessary protection of society”, the two attorneys general requested that a security period of twenty-two years be associated with this sentence. The public prosecutor requested for more than two hours, recalling the « vicissitudes » of the three judicial investigations opened for each of the crimes tried.

Contrary to the image of victim presented by Monique Olivier throughout her trial, the prosecution recalled the choices made by Fourniret’s ex-wife: putting Marie-Angèle Domèce and Joanna Parrish in confidence knowing that they were going straight to death, to remain silent for sixteen years about Estelle Mouzin.

“The most convicted woman in French judicial history”

“Madame Olivier, you are not an accomplice at that moment, you are the author of the choice to remain silent”, scolded the attorney general. She also asserted that “we will not forget the faces” of the victims, in reference to the confusions between the names of the young girls and the memory lapses alleged by Monique Olivier, day after day, since the opening of her trial on November 28.

“It is the maximum sentence that was requested, because the crimes committed justify it. For me, the prosecution’s requisitions are in line with what the families of the victims I represent were asking for”commented Me Seban, lawyer for the Parrish and Mouzin families, during a recess of the hearing after the public prosecutor’s requisitions.

“We can say that she will be the most convicted woman in French judicial history”concludes the lawyer, who reminds us: “What my clients want is for her not to come out. »

The verdict is expected on Tuesday.
