大衆紙 The Sun Thursday, May 29, 2008の今日の記事。連続殺人の犯人が終身刑になったという記事。
なぜ、とりあげたかというと、以前もシリアルキラーを取り上げて、そこでTPRの記事も取り上げたね。で、関連記事を読むと、類似点がある。
犯人は８０年代強制猥褻で収監されている。
犯人はその前後で連続殺人を犯している。
有罪の根拠の大半が自白によっている。
さて、おれの疑問。
仮にTPRがイギリスにいたならあの記事と同じようなことを書いただろうか？
それとも彼らは日本に対する偏見で書いていたのだろうか？

A SELF-CONFESSED serial killer fascinated by virgins and suspected of killing a British woman went on trial today for raping and murdering seven young women with the help of his wife.
Michel Fourniret, 65, dubbed the �Ogre of the Ardennes�, has admitted killing seven women and girls over a 14-year period from 1987 to 2001.
He operated mainly in the Ardennes region of northern France and Belgium.
His wife, Monique Olivier, 59, is accused of taking part in one of the murders and supporting Fourniret in four others.

She said she acted under the influence of her husband.
If convicted, they face life imprisonment.
Described by investigators as narcissistic, authoritarian and manipulative, Fourniret appeared in court after saying he might not attend the trial.
However, he refused to speak after a request to hold a closed hearing was rejected.
Instead he held up a sign reading: �Without a closed hearing, sealed lips�.
Sadistic
The couple, linked by what prosecutors call a �criminal pact�, became acquainted after Fourniret placed an advertisement for correspondents while serving a prison sentence for sex crimes in the 1980s.

In addition to the cases being tried this week, Fourniret is suspected of a number of other killings, including that of 20-year-old British woman Joanna Parrish in 1990.
More than 300 journalists are attending the trial, whichs expected to last two months, in a specially adapted courtroom just across the border from where Belgian serial child rapist Marc Dutroux was convicted in 2004.
Fourniret, a former industrial draughtsman who also worked as a forest warden and school supervisor, was arrested in Belgium in 2003 after one of his prospective victims escaped and called the police. He was extradited to France in 2006.
He has a long history of sexual offences and told investigators he was fascinated by virgins.
Psychologists concluded he was not insane. Instead they believe he took a sadistic pleasure in rape and killing.
He has admitted murdering Isabelle Laville in 1987, Fabienne Leroy in 1988, Jeanne-Marie Desramault and Elisabeth Brichet in 1989, Natacha Danais in 1990, Celine Saison in 2000 and Mananya Thumpong in 2001.
He has helped police find some of the bodies buried in the heavily wooded region that straddles the Belgian-French border.
