What happened to Michelle Martin and Michel Lelièvre, both convicted in the Dutroux affair and released from prison?
The years pass, faces change and oblivion sets in little by little.
Today, Michelle Martin is still a tenant with honorary judge Christian Panier; every month, she pays her low rent; she joins the CPAS while awaiting retirement age in January 2026; she does her shopping like everyone else with an eye to economy and she sometimes goes to the show with a friend without it causing any riot.
His difficult reintegration into society
At the end of her studies, which she had returned to late, she looked for work, but in vain. You can’t get hired when your name is Michelle Martin. So, she lends a helping hand here and there without ever mentioning her past. Over time, her circle of acquaintances has widened, but she remains essentially attached to the people she met among the Clarisses sisters in Malonne. Even today, she maintains close contact with the nuns who moved to Woluwé, not far from the nunciature where the pope stayed… For a little, the holy father could have come across this woman so long hated!
A citizen like any other
Mother of three children, Michelle Martin regularly receives visits from her eldest, aged 40. His second son, Andy, left Belgium for the ends of the world where he is trying to find a difficult balance. Finally, the youngest, aged 29, probably has no memory of the houses of Marcinelle and Sars-La-Buissière. She has completed paramedical studies and works in Brussels. Today, she is at odds with her mother.
Michelle Martin’s probation ended in 2022. Since then, she has no longer been required to undergo legal or psychological monitoring. She became a citizen again, almost like any other. The last incident dates back five years, Judge Panier tells us. His car tires were then slashed.
Plus d’incident
For his part, it was a physical attack that Michel Lelièvre suffered fifteen days after his parole, in December 2019. Since then, the tension has subsided, no more incidents have been reported and “no news is good news “, comments his lawyer. Marc Dutroux’s “little hand” lives alone and independently. Maître Bovy will say no more, Michel Lelièvre wanted to blend in with the crowd. According to the latest news, he seems to have arrived there.
“Marc Dutroux, a free man?”, a documentary-fiction broadcast this Tuesday, October 8 at 8:25 p.m. on RTL tvi and in replay on RTL play.
