French serial killer forced into court

THE SELF-CONFESSED French serial killer Michel Fourniret, who threatened to “boycott” his own trial for the murder of seven girls, was brought by force to court yesterday.

“Every day, Fourniret, you will be at the trial or you will be brought by force,” the visibly angry prosecutor Francis Nachbar told the accused, who sat next to his wife and alleged accomplice Monique Olivier.

“You will no longer manipulate anyone... I represent society and society will not be subject to your caprices and your moods. Stop this intolerable indecency,” said Nachbar.
