French serial killer Michel Fourniret, who spent years in prison, died in an intensive care unit at the age of 79 from a chronic illness on Oct. 10.
He was one of France’s most notorious serial killers, kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering 11 girls or young women between 1987 and 2001, and was alleged to be behind 21 other killings or disappearances, known as the “Yaldin ogre” and “virgin hunter The “virgin hunter”.
According to the BBC, Fulniere was arrested in Belgium in 2003, sentenced to life in prison in 2008 for the murders of seven women, and sentenced to a second life sentence in 2018 for killing his former cellmate, and later admitted to committing several other murders. The victims, mostly between the ages of 12 and 30, were mostly sexually assaulted by Fulniere before being shot, strangled or stabbed to death, mostly in his native Yaldin region and in Belgium.
Their youngest victim was 9 years old when he died in 2003, and the case was not solved until Fourniray confessed last March.
