In today’s episode, we will be discussing the arrest and trial of Michel Fourniret and Monique Olivier, the l’orge and l’orgesse of the Ardennes. In part 1, we discussed the rape, abduction and murders of their victims, at least the ones we so far know of. Michel was finally caught in 2003, but it was his wife who caved in. Her confessions made investigators realise just what sort of a monster they were dealing with, and that she wasn’t quite the submissive wife she wanted everyone to believe her to be.

Sture Bergwall, also known as Thomas Quick between 1991 - 2002, was known as one of Sweden’s most notorious serial killers. He confessed to over 30 murders while he was detained in a psychiatric hospital. He was convicted for 8 of the murders he confessed to. In 2001, he stopped cooperating with the police, stopped his therapy sessions and hid from the spotlight for seven years. He met with a journalist Hannes Råstam, who made a documentary about him in 2008. He recanted all of his confessions during the documentary, and had all of his convictions quashed in 2013. So why did he retract his confessions and did he really commit these murders? Or was it all a big miscarriage of justice, the biggest in Swedish history?
