He will probably not be released (for obvious reasons) but under the belgian law is he allowed to ask for an anticipated release.
New laws have been hastily voted recently to block any anticipated release before a certain time spent in jail because of Dutroux but maybe it is has some other purpose, I would not know.
Two things I noticed, even if the word psychopath has been said about him a few times, his official psychiatrist who has regular contact with him does not use that word, he acknowledges that he hasn't changed at all but he also try to make us pity him because he had a difficult childhood (Dutroux is isolated, does not have any contact, no activities...).
Another thing is that paedophile networks don't exist in Belgium (anyone who dares to say so is deluded
), so Dutroux must be the only real culprit.
Maybe killing him would just stir the fire, still I don't know why Dutroux keeps silent ? unless he knows less that what we think ?
But maybe that's why he is still alive after all unlike twelve suicide(d) witnesses to the story.Fwiw.
