TL;DR

Monique Olivier, the ex-wife of French serial killer Michel Fourniret, has been found guilty of complicity in the murder of British student Joanna Parrish and two other French victims. Olivier, who admitted the accusations, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 20 years. Fourniret, known as the "Ogre of the Ardennes," was already serving life in prison for the murder of seven other girls and young women. Olivier's conviction brings a sense of justice for the families of the victims after 33 years, although Fourniret died in 2021 before he could be tried for these specific murders.
