Marc Dutroux ex-wife Michelle Martin released from jail

Article here. A convent? Convent?? For a woman who was a willing accomplice to multiple counts of child rape and murder? Shouldn't she be in jail for life along with her unspeakably evil ex-husband? If this had been two men who had done this, with one being "only" an accomplice, you can be sure he would not ever see the light of day again, and rightly so. So why is this woman? The answer is of course in the last word of that question. Story here. Excerpt:

'The jailed ex-wife of child killer Marc Dutroux has been released from prison, after Belgium's highest court upheld her transfer to a convent.

The controversial move for Michelle Martin comes 16 years into her 30-year sentence.

Relatives of the pair's victims have expressed outrage over the decision, with one describing it as "absurd".

Earlier, a court in Brussels rejected two appeals against the ruling.

Martin was arrested in 1996 and was finally convicted in 2004 of complicity in the starvation deaths of two girls kidnapped by Dutroux and of helping him in the abduction of a number of others.
...
Dutroux himself is serving a life sentence for the kidnap and rape of six young and teenage girls. As well as the two who starved to death, Dutroux killed two others.'
