Ogre of the Ardenne in Court as Family of Joanna Parrish Dream of Justice 33 Years on

Monique Olivier, the wife of French serial killer Michel Fourniret, is standing trial in Nanterre, Paris, for Joannas’ brutal death and two other grisly killings

BBC 30 NOV 2023

One of the ‘Ogres of the Ardennes’ appeared in court on Tuesday charged with the murder of British woman Joanna Parrish. Monique Olivier, ex-wife of serial killer Michel Fourniret

Self-confessed French serial killer Michel Fourniret

Tragic Joanna, 20, fell prey to evil French serial killer Michel Fourniret while living in Auxerre, in May, 1990. The English teacher was raped and murdered by the beast who was a suspect for years before finally confessing in prison before his death in 2021 aged 79.

His wife Monique Olivier, 75, was formally charged with her murder earlier this year and is standing trial in Nanterre, Paris, for Joanna’s brutal death and two other grisly killings. Fourniret’s wicked crimes date back to 1988 in the case of Marie-Angele Domece, 18, who, like Parrish, was initially reported missing from Auxerre, but whose body has never been found.

Olivier is charged with aiding and abetting the kidnapping and murder of both women. The third charge is for Olivier’s complicity in the 2003 disappearance of nine-year-old Estelle Mouzin, whose body has also never been found.

On Tuesday she told the court: “I regret everything that happened.” Ms Olivier’s lawyer, Richard Delgenes, said his client’s "appearance in court" would set her apart from her husband.
He said: “Unlike him, she takes no special pleasure in the pain of his victims or of the families.” Before her husband’s death he was accused of murdering eight girls and young women between 1987 and 2001.

Olivier is already serving a life sentence for complicity in four of the killings and a gang rape committed by Fourniret. The pair, often likened to ‘the French Fred and Rose West’, stalked the Ardennes region on the French-Belgium border for years in their van looking for vulnerable young girls.

The victims were either strangled, shot or stabbed with a screwdriver to feed what prosecutors called Fourniret’s “obsession for virgins”. Vile Fourniret began offending in 1966 when, at age 24, he groped a minor. After being arrested for the attempted kidnapping of a young woman, he was jailed after admitting to 15 previous sexual assaults in the Paris area.

During his time in prison he placed penpal ads in a Roman Catholic magazine and made contact with Olivier, a former nurse. In the sordid letters he claimed he was traumatised by an incestuous relationship with his mother and explained his deranged lust for virgins.

The twisted duo later agreed a pact that involved her helping him find virgins to rape, in return for Fourniret killing her violent first husband.

The murder of her husband never happened, but Oliver and Fourniret married and had a son together. After his release in 1987 the pair settled in a village in Burgundy, France, before moving to an 18th century chateau in a wooded area near the Ardennes, near the French-Belgian border.

It was not long after the pair began the hunt for female virgins and five of the murders for which Fourniret was convicted occurred in the first three years after his release from jail. The couple often used the same method to ensnare their targets with Olivier luring potential victims into the couple’s van, at times while pregnant with their son, and later while he was a toddler.

Olivier was handed a life sentence in 2008 over her role in four murders and a rape committed by Fourniret. In 2018, she was given a further 20 years inside for her part in the killing of Farida Hammiche, the wife of one of Fourniret’s former cellmates.

The naked body of 20-year-old Ms Parrish was found in the Yonne River, near the eastern city of Auxerre, in May 1990. Her parents, Roger Parrish and his ex-wife Pauline Murrell, from the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire have been battling for justice ever since, and are due to give evidence at the month-long trial.

On the eve of the trial dad Roger said: “Jo was a kind person,but she was also bright and smart. She was not likely to have trusted a man who was by himself. When we found out that there was a female accomplice, I remember thinking that we had never thought of that. Why would we have done? But right from that moment, I thought, ‘this is it - this is the person’.”

Joanna's parents Roger and Pauline

Pauline said: “It’s impossible to take in. They said she was found in the water, and I was staring out of a window and I simply couldn’t take it in. I couldn’t cry for six months. Then I got the post-mortem report and I opened it on a Sunday morning, and I wasn’t able to get out of bed.”

The pair still remember her final phone call from France in which she told them she loved them. As the years went by and the French police struggled to build a case against evil Fourniret, Pauline revealed she even wrote to Monique Olivier in prison.

She explained: “I remember just saying that, from one mother to another mother, I wanted to know what happened. Her lawyers said it was a trick, that it wasn’t proper, and I was upset about that. It wasn’t a trick. It was heartfelt. It’s just such a horrible, horrible thing. I can’t imagine that any mother would be able to live with themselves. And now she’s pushing the victim bit, but I certainly don’t consider her the victim.”

Olivier has always suggested that she was coerced and intimidated by Fourniret, a claim that has been roundly dismissed by prosecutors. When she was first convicted, in 2008, the court concluded that, far from being easily influenced, she was highly intelligent and capable. The convictions of Olivier and Fourniret did not bring justice for Joanna.

Olivier had originally made a statement linking her husband to the murder, but she then withdrew it. The case went quiet and was eventually closed. But in 2018, 28 years after he killed her, Fourniret admitted to the murder. The pandemic delayed a court case and Fourniret escaped justice after dying in hospital from respiratory failure.

Roger said: “We probably look on it as the last hurdle. Until it’s over, we can’t get to whatever will be the next stage of our lives. It’s been a long time. It’s over 30 years so we’re glad it’s taking place. When he died, it wasn’t a great surprise because we knew he’d been ill, but we did feel cheated. I wanted to face him in court and that was taken away. We’re glad that he died. The world is a better place without a person like that but, at the same time, we would have wanted to face him - to look him in the eye.”
