A woman has been found guilty of involvement in the murders of three people, including a British student, by a man dubbed the ‘Beast of the Ardennes’.<\/p>\n
Monique Olivier, who was already serving a life prison sentence for her part in other murders, was tried 33 years after Joanna Parrish was killed in the French city of Auxerre.<\/p>\n
Olivier was found guilty of complicity in her murder, as well as those of Marie-Angele Domece in 1988 and Estelle Mouzin in 2003.<\/p>\n
She has now been handed a second life sentence, with a minimum prison term of 20 years.<\/p>\n
Her head remained bowed, with her eyes almost completely closed, throughout the sentencing – in which the gruesome details about the murders were read out.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the hearing, Joanna’s father, Roger Parrish, said his family were “satisfied” that the court had “recognised Monique Olivier’s part in the murder of our daughter and sister”.<\/p>\n
“There’s never been any doubt in our minds at all that she was equally responsible for the murder of Joanna and the other completely innocent victims,” he said.<\/p>\n

“From the very first moment that a victim was identified, she knew exactly what would happen to them, and not only did she do nothing to help them, but she actively encouraged and participated.<\/p>\n
“Her presence alone would have gained the confidence of all the victims, who would never have believed a woman could be a part of such an appalling and depraved act.<\/p>\n
“Finally, we now hope after this last obstacle in our struggle to gain an element of justice for Joanna has been overcome, we can remember our daughter and sister with a smile on our faces, which is how of course her many friends remember her.”<\/p>\n
Asked later by Sky News later how he felt about the verdict, he said: “I think relief, probably.<\/p>\n
“We always wanted to achieve some sense of justice for our daughter because she deserved, believe me, she really deserved it.<\/p>\n
“She deserved a long, happy, and fulfilled life, which I’m sure she would have had, had she not had the desperate, desperate misfortune to come across a couple like them.<\/p>\n
“So we did it to bring an element of justice for Jo.”<\/p>\n
‘The Beast of the Ardennes’<\/strong><\/p>\n
Joanna, a 20-year-old university student from Gloucestershire<\/strong>, was working in France<\/strong> as part of her university course.<\/p>\n
She was murdered by Olivier’s husband, Michel Fourniret, in May 1990.<\/p>\n
